The North American Aviation AGM-28 Hound Dog was a supersonic, turbojet-propelled, nuclear armed, air-launched cruise missile developed in 1959 for the United States Air Force.

North American AGM-28B Hound Dog The Hound Dog was an air-launched supersonic nuclear missile designed to destroy heavily defended ground targets. Specially modified B-52 bombers carried two AGM-28s, one beneath each wing.

The inertial contour of the N-5G control system was a variant of the N-6 system developed for the Navaho prototype rocket. The AGM-28B missile was equipped with a more advanced P-56A control system from the same designers, which provided better accuracy (by about 10.6%) for the main application.

May 12, 2017 · The AGM-28 Hound Dog Missile was a massive air-breathing missile designed exclusively for carriage under the wings of the B-52 Stratofortress bomber. Powered by a single Pratt & Whitney J52...

The GAM-77/AGM-28 Hound Dog was a United States Air Force (USAF) supersonic, turbojet-propelled, air-launched cruise missile. A B-52 bomber could carry a missile under each wing as well as its internal nuclear bomb load.

The deployed Hound Dog missiles were designated AGM-28A, with a slightly improved version designated AGM-28B. For a time, all U.S. Air Force B-52G and B-52H bombers were equipped with one Hound Dog pylon under each wing.

Feb 4, 2021 · Two basic models of Hound Dog – GAM-77 (later AGM-28A) and GAM-77A (later AGM-28B) were produced. The missile was not capable of pin-point accuracy but it was designed as a standoff or ‘roll-back’ weapon to ‘soften’ enemy defences or target complexes up to 700 miles away during attacks by the bombers, much like the later AGM-69 SRAM.

agm-28b In June 1963, the GAM-77 and GAM-77A were redesignated as AGM-28A and AGM-28B , respectively. It was originally planned to replace Hound Dog in the mid-1960s by the AGM-48 Skybolt ALBM (Air-Launched Ballistic Missile), but the latter was cancelled in 1962.

North American built the Hound Dog with a canard, a delta wing configuration, an underslung J52 engine, and a self-contained inertial autonavigational guidance system. The design requirements called for a 350-mile range and Mach 2 speed at over 55,000 feet.

Very interesting work for a 20-year old and very, very cold in the winter. The Hound-Dogs were de-commissioned in early 1975 and left in pieces in a field near CS so the Soviet satellites could get the photos as part of the arms limitations treaty. No, the Hound Dog's warhead did not at any time separate from the missile during flight.
