Unknown (to me, at least) Goodyear TV guided bomb

Preserved at the MAPS Museum at Canton, OH - per the placard, ten were built, and nine were expended. Built around a Mk.84 - maybe a HOBOS competitor?

Goodyear bomb

Is there any indication as to when it was developed?

No, the placard was all that I saw. Didn't have the opportunity to see if I could ask someone.

MK84 Smart Bomb. This is a Goodyear built and designed guided bomb. The guidance was via a TV camera in the nose. It did not reach production.Of 10 demonstrators built, this is the only survivor.
