Crossed wires bring an end to army missile test in Alabama Washington of an important development test for a new army guided missile came to an ignominious end last month when technicians literally crossed the wires to two missiles in the process destroying one and damaging the other the army said mistake left the two missiles receiving control commands mean for the other. The Experiment with the so called fog a missiles was staged May 30 at the Redstone Arsenal in Ala Bama and marked the first time the service had at tempted to test the ability of a single operator to launch and guide two of the weapons at once. The fog a is considered one of the most promising weapons now under development by the army for use in shooting Down enemy helicopters and moving tanks. Al relies on advanced fiber optic technology mean ing the missile and a tiny on Board to camera Are linked to the operator by an Ultra thin strand of Glass through which laser signals Are sent to guide it Dave Harris a spokesman at Redstone said wednesday the May 30 Experiment failed because of human error in preparing two of the hand built mis Siles for launch.
