The Unrotated Projectile (UP) was a British anti-aircraft and ground-bombardment rocket of the Second World War. The original 7-inch version was developed for the Royal Navy by Alwyn Crow of the Projectile Development Establishment of the Ministry of Supply at Fort Halstead. These were generally similar in layout to contemporary mortar bombs. It proved unreliable and ineffective and was withdrawn from use in 1941.
