February 9, 2006 :: Middle East Newsline :: News

Middle East Newsline reports that Israel plans to launch a new type of two-stage, solid-fuel missile. The rocket is known as Magah, and is believed to be powered by a solid-fuel ramjet engine. According to the Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology, such an engine has never been tested in Israel or deployed anywhere the world. Alon Gany, head of the Magah project and a professor of aeronautical engineering at the Technion, stated that Magah “mark a technological breakthrough” and could help meet an emerging military requirement for advanced long-range missiles.
