AGM-62 Walleye

The AGM-62 Walleye was a television-guided glide bomb built by Martin Marietta for the United States Navy and Air Force. It had no propulsion of its own: a camera in the nose sent a picture to a screen in the cockpit, the pilot locked onto a target and released the weapon, and the bomb then steered itself down on four large fins, which let the aircraft turn away at once. The idea came from engineers at the Naval Ordnance Test Center at China Lake, California, and Martin received its first production contract in 1966. The Walleye was used in Vietnam against targets such as the Hanoi power plant and the Thanh Hoa Bridge, and later grew into the larger Walleye II with a 2,000 pound warhead. A small number were still dropped by Navy aircraft in the 1991 Gulf War before the weapon was retired.
