A JSOW?




SemperAugustus -> RE: And this is what? (3/4/2006 4:20:24 AM)

Not quite, but close




Terminus -> RE: And this is what? (3/4/2006 12:12:54 PM)

A TALD decoy, then?




SemperAugustus -> RE: And this is what? (3/4/2006 4:36:51 PM)

Yes it is a TALD, but which one?




Terminus -> RE: And this is what? (3/4/2006 6:42:05 PM)

There's more than one type?




SemperAugustus -> RE: And this is what? (3/4/2006 7:45:59 PM)

I meant it follows the TALD concept

It is the Convair Buck Duck (GAM-71), a rocket powered decoy device that was intended to be used on the B-36 Peacemaker. The program was ended without any actual product being made. The same thing happened to the Lockheed Bull Goose. McDonnell GAM-72 Quail was eventually choosen as the decoy device for the B-52. The Quail is the granddaddy of the US air launched cruise missile program.
