UB.109T was a British cruise missile project. It was cancelled on 30 September 1954. An identified operational requirement led to a request for designs for an unmanned bomb capable of delivering a 5,000 lb (2.27 tonne) conventional warhead over 465 miles (700 km) travelling at 600 mph. The specification for production was for plastic construction. Guidance would be by Decca or LORAN. Of three designs submitted, two were chosen for development. Red Rapier from Vickers-Armstrong Ltd Vickers 825 design powered by three Rolls-Royce Soar turbojets.
