were a series of surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles developed in Japan at the end of the Second World War. The missile's development in the late stages of the war was plagued by organizational problems and cancelled before becoming operational.
Ke-Go
Ke-Go was one of the first guided weapons, developed by the Imperial Japanese Army Ordnance Board. The Ke-Go was a free falling, infra-red guided, gyro-stabilized missile, intended to be dropped from airplanes onto shipping targets. The missile had eight wings in two cross-configurations, one set fore and one set aft. Output from the heat-seeking head was amplified to provide guidance control to flaps on the four forward wings. The main body was to hold an explosive charge behind the heat-seeking head.
