Nuclear Ramjet (Project Pluto) to Drive Big Stick Supersonic Low Altitude Missile (SLAM) ~ 1959 Convair

more at http://quickfound.net/


The Supersonic Low Altitude Missile or SLAM was a U.S. Air Force nuclear weapons project conceived around 1955, and cancelled in 1964. SLAMs were conceived of as unmanned nuclear-powered ramjets capable of delivering thermonuclear warheads deep into enemy territory. The development of ICBMs in the 1950s rendered the concept of SLAMs obsolete.
