Dervish was an unguided
air-to-air and
air-to-surface rocket developed by the
Northrop Corporation for use by the
United States Navy and
United States Army during the early 1950s. Originally intended as an air-to-air rocket to replace the
Mighty Mouse rocket, it was later expanded in role to also operate in an air-to-surface capacity.[1] Spin-stabilized, 2.75 inches (70 mm) in diameter, and powered by a
Thiokol TRX-126B
solid fuel rocket,[2] in 1958 development of Dervish was resumed as a solely Army project, but no production ever emerged.[3][4]
