 challenge to the free world. A challenge to our very survival. We must keep ahead of communist efforts, efforts to dominate the world. We must have missiles, missiles of all types for all purposes, to protect our own country, to protect the free nations of the world, to preserve peace. A small group of civilians, including this private citizen from Farmington, Connecticut, is invited to visit the Missile Testing Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Here a tremendous progress is being made in this vital field. Notice the man on the roof of the truck. He'll pilot a drone plane for the takeoff until radar picks it up. The carrier opens. A supersonic bow mark ground-to-air interceptor missile is set in firing position. The drone plane is constantly plotted. The bow mark is a defense missile that can be fired by remote control from hundreds of miles away. Its accuracy is incredible. The bow mark climbs skyward from its launcher. Remote control cameras follow missile and plane. The missile speaks toward the plane. But just as it is about to strike, it is purposely directed to veer off to save the target for other tests. First of the intercontinental missiles to reach operational stage. Actual operations, the snark has delivered its payload right on target, 5,000 miles away with remarkable accuracy. The snark can place a nuclear warhead on targets anywhere in the world. Faces overseas, we have a big edge with our intermediate range missiles like the Jupiter, each within range of vital targets. It can be fired from fighter planes, either singly or in rapid sequence salvoes, and is guided to its target by radar. In the artillery rocket, it will provide close tactical fire support in ground combat. .29 goes along to the next Q5 supersonic missile attached to be released for target practice. The Nike Hercules is placed in firing position to intercept the X-Q5. From the B-29, these rises towards its target was successfully launched from the deck of a converted transport carrying an atomic warhead over 1,200 miles. This missile is prepared for firing. Just to be on guard, keep our powder dry, and be ready with the forces and the weapons to counter any aggression, effectively and conclusively. Our Army, our Air Force, our Navy and Marine Corps all play a vital and mutually supporting role in the complex business of world military supremacy. From 30 caliber rifles to mighty missiles, today's Army weapons can blanket the battlefield. Trained infantry will advance under covering fire. This 10 missile, they can seek out and destroy enemy armament. On a closed circuit to the commander in rear, a dominant factor in any possible war. Trains like the F-105 Republic Thunder Team, with one of the most powerful turbojets known to exist. On its speed and versatility is believed to be the world's best tactical fighter, and now in strength with our tactical and air defense commands. Close records for speed, altitudes, and time to climb at the same time. Fly to the outer fringes of air's atmosphere and reach speeds of over 3,500 miles per hour. The supersonic bomber, the Convair Husker, open sea lanes are vital to our freedom. On the seven seas of the world, our naval task forces are ever on guard. Planes capable of defensive attack take off day and night on different missions for lurking submarines. Destroyers, important members of each task force can zero in on their target and fire the effective Alpha weapon. Be tight, getting ready to dock, or they're nautilus enroute to the Arctic, or the skate as it comes up through the ice at the North Pole, at the Conning Tower. Submarine capability is achieved with the launching of the George Washington. It can carry 16 Polaris missiles that can be fired with great accuracy from under the surface. On an assault helicopter carrier, move up on deck to board their copters for a beach assault. We hope the use of missiles will never be necessary.
