Hi,
The book “British Secret Projects, Ramjets and Missiles” gives quite a bit of history behind the PGM series, as it was initially started by Marconi.

PGM’s in service with the United Arab Emirates but I don’t know how many they purchased.
Actually, does anyone know for sure that the UAE has actually taken delivery of any PGM-500/2000s?
I haven’t seen a picture of the actual hardware outside of the UK?

The PGM-500/2000 program was originally known as “Al Hakim.” A turbojet powered version named “Centaur” was proposed for the UK, but the requirement was fulfilled by the APACHE/SCALP-based Storm Shadow.
(Incidentally, the United Arab Emirates version of Storm Shadow/SCALP EG was marketed as “Black Shaheen.”)
Can anyone offer any more information on PGM-500, PGM-2000, Hakim or Centaur?
I’ve been looking for a profile drawing of PGM-500/2000 for ages – and I haven’t had any luck.
