Lockheed Martin RATTLRS → RATTLRS — Naming conventions (common names) supported by Verifiability (most references in article do not routinely use ). Also other missiles on Wikipedia do not seem to use this format most of the time e.g. other pages in Category:Guided missile stubs. —Callmederek (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Some missles do use the manufacturer name, and some use their military designation. I think the manufacturer here ought to be used, as it is a normall convention in WP:AIR. - BillCJ (talk) 01:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose all missile articles should have the maufacturer as a prefix. 70.55.84.42 (talk) 03:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Closest naming convention I can find for a missile is WP:WEAPON which does not demand a manufacturer. More importantly it is not referred to as "Lockheed RATTLRS" in most of the sources either in the article or elsewhere.Global ecurity, Defensetech.org, Deagel.com, and Popular Mechanics, so probably for WP:COMMONNAME reasons as well.

 * Support. Even Lockheed Martin does not call it a "Lockheed Martin RATTLRS". Horsesforcorses (talk) 18:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Mild support. The guidelines of WP:AIR and WP:WEAPON seem to be in conflict here. In that case I would defer to Naming conventions (common names) as per nom, esp. given evidence in links provided by User:Llamas above. Whydontyoucallme dantheman (talk) 22:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Results?
When did this project end? Did it achieve a successful demonstration flight?

There is nothing in the article that gives the answer to either question. I could not find any answers by searching the WWW. Nick Beeson (talk) 18:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
