That article really needs some love. I've added one that makes the designation clearer: Nike-Cajun was given the designation XRM-85 originally; later it became PWN-3 when MacNamara forced the unifed designation system's adoption. (Really, the whole "N-for-research-rocket" series needs a lot of work.)

Thanks for answering. I just happened to make minor edits to two articles about "missiles", that I do not really know anything about. I guess the "missiles" or the technology has to do with the military, that is, some missile technology is used for a sounding rocket. I had second thoughts on my

Yep, that's appropriate: rockets and missiles designated under the various U.S. designation systems (i.e have a designation system sequence navbox) have that one as well as part of the standard page formatting. -

I'm not sure where your comment about air-to-air vs. surface-to-air comes from? "Air-to-air" means "aircraft launched for use against aircraft", ground-launced vs. aircraft would be "surface-to-air". -

Of course "to-air" means "to-aircraft".. I'm from a non-military country.. :) but anyway, doesn't matter it's in "Other missiles"-category. I just looked at it wrong.

I guess air-to-air means "air-to-aircraft"? That aside, isn't it "ground-to", not "air-to"?
