Air Force Hints at Use
OF Guided Missiles
To Arm Bombers
Would Help Big Planes
Fight Off Intereeptors
On Way to forget

The Air Force hinted last night
it has developed guided missile
armament for strategic bombers
which means they could fight theil
own way through enemy inter-
ceptors to protected targets deer
in the Eurasian continent.
The significant reference was
tucked away in a semiannual re.
port of the Defense Department
prepared by Gen. George c. Mar.
shall. who retired in September
as Defense Secretary.
Missile Report Quoted.
In a brief section on guidee
missiles. the report said:
During the year (ended last
June 30) the Air Force continued
development of six major guided
missiles and initiated one addi-
tional major project. These prof.
ects are intended to give the USAF
the ability to wage missile war
fare IN carrying out its air de-
tense, its strategic, and its tactical
air missions.
They include developments de-
signed to increase the effective
ness Of interceptor aircraft and
the defensive capabilities of stra-
tegic bombers and to permit ALL
weather tactical air operations.
First Hint Of Bomber Use.
The Air Force has talked OF
guided missiles for use by high
flying. swift Jet interceptors tc
destroy enemy bombers. But this
was the first time it had indicated
officially that guided missiles are
contemplated as defensive weap.
ons for the long range planes Of
the strategic bomber fleet.
The conventional armament O
big bombers so far has been 81
caliber machine guns and 20 mil
llmeter cannon. These were rea
sonably satisfactory when bomber
were fighting off World War I
design piston -engined intercep
tors
Serious Problems Arise.
Serious problems arose, how
ever, when airplanes, bombers a.
well as fighters. moved into tn,
Jet era and began approachin,
speeds near that of sound (76l
miles an hour at sea level.)
The jet interceptors. such a
the Soviet-made MIG-15s. ar
hard to locate when the closin,
speed of two planes may be il
the order of 1900 miles an hour
They also are harder to hit. An,
the problem becames more acut
when the interceptors attack will
Iradar in dark or storm.
Out of this growing problem
arose the demand for missile
which bombers could launch an,
which. by guidance from tn
bomber and by "homing" device
to draw them automatically T.
the target, could locate and knocl
down the fighters.
