Tactical Applications for AGM 69 SRAM.

        Although the AGM-69 SRAM has been replaced in the strategic role by cruise missiles the potential of this proven airframe and engine should be investigated as a conventional tactical weapon. Although it lacks the range of a cruise missile it has the advantage of being supersonic and is compatible with the rotary launchers used by many cruise missile carriers such as the B-52 and B-1. With a weight of around 2,000lb it can also be carried as a pylon store.
        Possible roles for Tactical SRAM include as an anti-shipping or anti-radiation missile or as an air to air missile fired from platforms such as a modified 747.
