AGM-83 Bulldog
The AGM-83 Bulldog , developed by Texas Instruments on behalf of the US Navy , was an air-to-surface missile designed to fix the errors of the AGM-12 Bullpup , but it was not put into service.
The main problem of the Bullpup was the manual aiming system, which significantly reduced the hit performance, especially during combat operations. The AGM-12B was used as the basis of the Bulldog, to which a new - now 113 kg - warhead and a new laser aiming system were mounted. With this target system, a target could be marked, which the Bulldog automatically approached after its start without having to be marked any further. Tests of the new AGM took place in 1971/72, which it successfully passed, and the Navy planned that the Bulldog should enter service from 1974. In 1972 it was decided to discontinue the program in favor of the AGM-65 Maverick .
