Be real interesting to see what it has on TSSAM since I worked on that bird, both AGM-137A and BGM-137B.bipa said:sferrin said:Hopefully it has a big chunk on Pluto/SLAM.
...and LASRM, ASALM, ACM, TSSAM, JASSM...

yeah, but TSSAM seems to be totally missing and that was a major all-aspects stealthy cruise missile program that not only had air-launched version but ground-launched versions (keeping the latter stealthy was an interesting challenge given the launch conditions). It's cancellation led to JASSM and only with JASSM-ER do you get back to what was demonstrated by Northrop on TSSAM and I'm told it uses TSSAM's engine.pometablava said:http://www.specialtypress.com/the-complete-history-of-u-s-cruise-missiles-kettering-s-1920s-bug-1950s-snark-21st-century-tomahawk.html
To me looks excellent
Having now received this book and done a quick scan, I see nothing to change my views given above. TSSAM is dismissed in a couple sentences and without any illustrations.
There is a book out there on just the Regulus program,
If that link didn't work, try this one:pometablava said:There is a book out there on just the Regulus program,
https://www.amazon.com/Regulus-Americas-Nuclear-Submarine-Missile/
Only 37 US$ while 46€ in Europe :'(
And even some that flew, but didn't make production, like TSSAM. There's no mention at all of the Lockheed design that was in competition with Northrop for this contract.CNH said:Very light on paper projects.
