Shillelagh on Helicopters?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Dumb question... But any chance the helicopter served as the "sight" for a tank-fired Shillelagh?

Neil,
I wondered about that too, but being the beam rider that it was, it's not like just painting the target so the missile can ride down a wide funnel. If it worked at all that way, I'd think the helicopter and Sheridan would have to be so close to each other that it would be pointless. Some fancy re-engineering of the receiver-transmitter would be necessary. I don't offhand know the "cone" of communication for the missile since we never tried remote guidance from the launching vehicle.

Post subject: Re: Shillelagh on Helicopters?

Hmmmm....

"On November 4, 1969, the Senate and House Armed Services Committees Conference Report directed the Army to re-evaluate the Shillelagh and TOW missiles with an eye toward substituting the Shillelagh for the TOW in order to meet the Army's requirement for an antitank weapon for both the helicopter and infantry. The re-evaluation for the infantry application, completed in March 1970, addressed the cost, schedules, and operational effectiveness of the two systems. The findings were that the substitution of Shillelagh for TOW would delay the fielding of an acceptable heavy antitank-assault weapon for at least four years, result in no dollar savings, be less satisfactory from an operational viewpoint, and introduce the inherent risk of any development program. (Shillelagh was designed to be fired from a closed breech in an armored vehicle; in infantry and helicopter roles, an open breech launcher and miniaturized guidance and control components would have to be developed and tested.) The Army therefore recommended to the Congress that the TOW program be continued and that no further consideration be given to Shillelagh as a basic heavy infantry weapon. As the fiscal year closed, the re-evaluation of the Shillelagh and TOW missiles as helicopter-borne armament remained under study."

TOW won, Shillelagh (rightfully) lost. Was considered for Cobra and Cheyenne gunships, though.
