Rapier is a British surface-to-air missile developed for the British Army and Royal Air Force. Entering service in 1971 it eventually replaced all other anti-aircraft weapons in Army service; guns for low-altitude targets and the English Electric Thunderbird used against longer-range and higher-altitude targets.
