AGM - 53 Condor In 1962 , the U . S . Navy issued a requirement for a long - range high - precision air - to - surface missile . The missile , named the AGM - 53A Condor , was to use a television guidance system with a data link to the launching aircraft similar to the system of the then projected AGM - 62 Walleye . Development history . Because of numerous problems in the development phase , the first flight of an XAGM - 53A missile did not occur before March 1970 . The AGM - 53 program was cancelled in March 1976 . Its long range and potentially high precision made the Condor a very powerful weapon , but it was much more expensive than contemporary tactical air - to - ground weapons . The secure data link contributed a significant portion to total missile cost , and it certainly didn ' t help that this link was still somewhat unreliable . Description . The Condor was to be a long - range missile to be used for high - precision stand - off attacks . The missile was launched by the strike aircraft from a distance of up to to the general target area . When the AGM - 53 approached the expected target position , the image of the TV camera in the missile ' s nose was transmitted back to the operator in the launching aircraft . The operator could switch between wide and narrow field - of - view images to find a suitable target . As soon as a target for the missile had been selected , the operator could either fly the missile manually until impact , or lock the Condor on the target and rely on the missile ' s capability to home on the final aiming point . The Condor ' s linear shaped charge warhead detonated on impact . A variant of the Condor was anticipated to carry the W73 nuclear warhead , a derivative of the B61 nuclear bomb . Details on the W73 are poorly documented , and it never entered production or service .
