AGM - 83 Bulldog The AGM - 83 Bulldog is a missile produced by the United States of America . The missile has its origins in the AGM - 12 Bullpup . This missile used a manual guidance system which required the launching aircraft to continue flying towards the target throughout the missile flight time , making it highly vulnerable to counter - attack . The U . S . Navy and Air Force requested a pilot - independent guidance system for the Bullpup which would let the launching aircraft turn away after firing . In 1970 , Texas Instruments was given a Navy contract to create a laser guidance system for the Bullpup . The new missile was designated AGM - 83 Bulldog ; it was developed in cooperation with the Naval Weapons Center ( NWC ) . The Bulldog was heavily based on the AGM - 12B Bullpup A , but used a new 113 kg ( 250 lb ) MK 19 blast - fragmentation warhead . It homed in on the reflection of a laser beam which was projected onto the target by ground troops . Firing trials of the AGM - 83A took place in 1971 - 1972 , with successful results . The Navy planned to get the Bulldog into service by 1974 . A version for ground handling training known as the ATM - 83A was also planned . However , in 1972 it was decided that the Navy should instead procure a laser - guided version of the Air Force ' s AGM - 65 Maverick , the AGM - 65C — which itself was later cancelled in favour of the AGM - 65E .
