  • Abstract
    This article tells the missile radar-beacon story from the beginning of V-2 missile firing in America until today. It compares the weight, dimensions, characteristics, and uses of former beacons with those used today. It also describes briefly new beacons under development, and tells how some of the future missiles and satellites may use these beacons.
