This is the original prototype version of the British ALARM Anti-Radar missile. The later production model can be distinguished by its blunter nose cone and the bulge of a sensor blister near the nose. When fired at an enemy radar source, the enemy can often detect the incoming missile and switch off their equipment, thereby depriving the missile of a target. When this happens, the ALARM either switches to a back-up target, or immediately changes course... straight up. At 40,000 feet it stops and swings to a head-down orientation, suspended by a small parachute. Then it waits. Eventually the enemy position decides the missile must have impacted somewhere by now, so they turn their radar equipment back on to take a look. At this point the missile releases its parachute and slams in for a nearly unstoppable kill.
