title="Kamikaze">kamikaze</a> threat. It was developed as a <a href="/wiki/Crash_program" title="Crash program">crash program</a> to introduce a medium-range defensive layer that would attack targets between the long-range <a href="/wiki/Combat_air_patrol" title="Combat air patrol">combat air patrols</a> and short-range <a href="/wiki/Anti-aircraft_artillery" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-aircraft artillery">anti-aircraft artillery</a>. This produced a design with roughly 30 miles (48 km) maximum range and <a href="/wiki/Speed_of_sound" title="Speed of sound">subsonic</a> performance, suitable for attacks against Japanese aircraft. </p><p>With the ending of the war, interest in Lark waned. But critical was the introduction of jet-powered <a href="/wiki/Medium_bomber" title="Medium bomber">medium bombers</a> that Lark would be incapable of effectively countering. By this time, several hundred Larks had been built to test various guidance systems, and these were mostly expended in various test programs. During one of these, a <a href="/wiki/Convair" title="Convair">Convair</a>-built airframe scored the first successful United States surface-to-air missile interception of a flying target in January 1950.<sup id="cite_ref-p&s_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-p&s-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SAM-N-2_Lark&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Concept">Concept</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SAM-N-2_Lark&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Concept"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg/220px-Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="294" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg/330px-Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Lark_missile_launch_at_NOTS_China_Lake_in_1950s.jpg 2x" data-file-width="411" data-file-height="549" /></a><figcaption>Lark missile launch at <a href="/wiki/Naval_Air_Weapons_Station_China_Lake" title="Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake">NOTS China Lake.</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/US_Navy" class="mw-redirect" title="US Navy">US Navy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> were subjected to successful attacks by German <a href="/wiki/Anti-shipping_missile" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-shipping missile">anti-shipping missiles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Guided_bomb" title="Guided bomb">guided bombs</a> starting in 1943 during their operations in the <a href="/wiki/Allied_invasion_of_Italy" title="Allied invasion of Italy">Allied invasion of Italy</a>. These weapons could be dropped from high altitudes and ranges of several kilometers, allowing the launching aircraft to be kept out of range of the ship's <a href="/wiki/Anti-aircraft_artillery" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-aircraft artillery">anti-aircraft artillery</a>. After several losses and significant damage from these weapons, both the US and Royal Navies began crash programs to introduce <a href="/wiki/Surface-to-air_missile" title="Surface-to-air missile">surface-to-air missiles</a> to close this range gap. In the US, this was organized as <a href="/wiki/Operation_Bumblebee" title="Operation Bumblebee">Operation Bumblebee</a>. In the end, increasing Allied <a href="/wiki/Air_superiority" class="mw-redirect" title="Air superiority">air superiority</a> rendered these weapons moot; during the <a href="/wiki/D-Day" class="mw-redirect" title="D-Day">D-Day</a> invasions, German aircraft were kept well out of range of the Allied fleets. </p><p>At roughly the same time, the US Navy began to face the first mass <a href="/wiki/Kamikaze" title="Kamikaze">kamikaze</a> attacks. In this case, the attacking aircraft had to collide with its target, so performance and accuracy requirements were reduced. However, the desire to rapidly fill the gap between the short and long-range protection was even more vital. Bumblebee's efforts were aimed at high-performance, <a href="/wiki/Supersonic" class="mw-redirect" title="Supersonic">supersonic</a> weapons, and as much of the technology was brand new, they could not be expected to enter service in the short term. A new project emerged to introduce a lower-performance weapon as rapidly as possible.<sup id="cite_ref-p&s_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-p&s-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Program_starts">Program starts</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SAM-N-2_Lark&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Program starts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The missile configuration was developed by the <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Aeronautics" title="Bureau of Aeronautics">Bureau of Aeronautics</a> in January 1945. It consisted of a relatively conventional cylindrical fuselage with a slight boat-tail reduction at the aft, <a href="/wiki/Nose_cone_design" title="Nose cone design">ogive nosecone</a> forward, four wings at the center of the fuselage, and four smaller stabilizers at the rear rotated 45 degrees relative to the wings. Control was by small control surfaces at the aft end of the four wings, similar to <a href="/wiki/Aileron" title="Aileron">ailerons</a>. The missile was powered by a <a href="/wiki/Reaction_Motors" title="Reaction Motors">Reaction Motors</a> LR2-RM-2 two-chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine, which was later upgraded to the LR2-RM-6. It was boosted on launch by two bottle-like <a href="/wiki/Solid_fuel_rocket" class="mw-redirect" title="Solid fuel rocket">solid fuel rockets</a> inside a square stabilizer arrangement similar to the German <a href="/wiki/Rheintochter" title="Rheintochter">Rheintochter</a>.

Fairchild referred to the combined guidance system as "Skylark". During the early and mid-range stages of flight, existing ship-based radars would track both the missile and the target, calculating an interception point and sending commands to the missile via <a href="/wiki/Radio_control" title="Radio control">radio control</a>. When the missile was 10 miles (16 km) from the target, it would be instructed to turn on its AN/DPN-7 receiver to home on the reflection of the ship's targeting radar.<sup id="cite_ref-par_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-par-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Concerned about slow progress, <a href="/wiki/Convair" title="Convair">Convair</a> was given a contract for another 100 examples in June 1945 under the <a href="/wiki/1922_United_States_Navy_aircraft_designation_system" title="1922 United States Navy aircraft designation system">designation acronym</a> KAY.

The program continued, and flight tests of both the Fairchild KAQ-1 and Convair KAY-1 vehicles started in June 1946. The new rocket engine gave rise to the Fairchild KAQ-2 and Convair KAY-2 around this time. In September 1947, they were redesignated under the Navy's new system, becoming XSAM-2, XSAM-2a for the Fairchild versions, and XSAM-4 and XSAM-4a for Convair. These were redesignated once again, around February 1948, after the introduction of the 1947 tri-service designation system, becoming XSAM-N-2, XSAM-N-2a, XSAM-N-4, and XSAM-N-4a.<sup id="cite_ref-par_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-par-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Six of the Convair airframes were given to <a href="/wiki/Raytheon" title="Raytheon">Raytheon</a> to explore the use of velocity-gated <a href="/wiki/Continuous-wave_radar" title="Continuous-wave radar">continuous wave</a> <a href="/wiki/Doppler_radar" title="Doppler radar">doppler radar</a> for guided missile target seekers.
