Hmm. Unplanned event. Errant missile. Missing letters I P and possibly D. https://www.amazon.com/Program-RESEARCH-EDWARDS-MISSILE-PROPULSION/dp/B00KJITQLC Or The Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM) development has proceeded through engineering and manufacturing development and is now undergoing operational testing prior to being approved for service use. This effort, supported by a consortium of the United States and allied nations, will provide a significant improvement to the existing Sparrow Missile. It will give the fleets of these nations an antimissile capability against existing and projected threats that possess low‐altitude, high velocity, and radical maneuver capabilities that stress present systems. This paper traces the ESSM's development under DOD‐mandated Integrated Product Development (IPD) from early definition efforts through engineering and manufacturing development and into the present operational test and evaluation trials that will prove its capabilities to support consortium fleet missions.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/j.2334-5837.2002.tb02501.x
