Boeing CIM-10 Bomarc
|
|
|
The Bomarc
(Boeing and Michigan Aeronautical Research
Center) was a surface-launched interceptor missile.
Propelled by a rocket booster until its ramjets could produce
thrust, the Bomarc was guided from the ground until close enough to
its target for its internal target seeker to take over.
The prototype flew in 1955 and the first
operational missiles were delivered in 1960. Some Bomarcs were
converted to high-altitude supersonic target drones.
The last Bomarc was phased out in
1972. |
