A little ways down this page:

http://www.armyrecognition.com/forum...e440a49012e0a7

...it talks about Honeywell's entry for the predecessor to the Tank Breaker program, the IMMAWS. I think that is the same weapon as the STAFF missile. It gives us a new entry for the search engines.

Lol, my top google return was this thread.

Also found this;

Redstone Arsenal Complex Chronology

Lots of info, and some of it seems relevant.

That happens all the time when I'm researching military stuff -- topics on this board end up in the top ten search results. And usually, somewhere within the first two pages of Google results, will be a page from my own web site.

Bit hard to expect otherwise Paul - you quickly become the online guru for all things miltary as you gather info and colate it all. :P
Speaking for myself, I'd say you're doing an awesome job and creating a resource I'd be lost without!

As for the topic in hand, I can't add much beyond an observation that going back to pre-internet research options may yeild the best result - actually picking up the phone, writing letters, visiting libraries, hitting up snitches, etc. We all get lost in thinking the net has all the answeres sometimes (I know I often do and research, background checks, etc are my bread and butter).

STAFF morphed into MPIM is my understanding.
