Dervish (rocket)

Dervish was an unguided air-to-air and air-to-surface rocket developed by the Northrop Corporation for use by the United States Navy and United States Army during the early 1950s. Originally intended as an air-to-air rocket to replace the Mighty Mouse rocket, it was later expanded in role to also operate in an air-to-surface capacity.Ordway and Wakeford 1960, p.31 Spin-stabilized, in diameter, and powered by a Thiokol TRX-126B solid fuel rocket,Aviation Week & Space Technology, volume 69 (1958), p.61 in 1958 development of Dervish was resumed as a solely Army project, but no production ever emerged.Aircraft and Missiles Manufacturing, Volume 2 (1959), p.28Jacobs and Whitney 1962, p.46
