From: allanh@sco.COM (Boy Howdy) F44169%BARILVM.BITNET@VM1.gatech.edu (Gerald Steinberg): In the interview in the Washington Post which got him fired, Dugan talked about a Havenap missile, 50 mile range, 1 ton payload, air to ground, launched from a B-52, and Israeli desigend!! Any truth to this? Yup; in this week's Aviation Week and Space Technology (24 September 1990), there's an article outlining possible strategies in an aerial conflict. The Have Nap missile is an inertially-guided conventionally-armed standoff missile. There is a picture of a B-52 packing two on a pylon beneath the left wing. I don't know what it uses for terminal guidance, but someone being interviewed for the article said that if Saddam Hussein were sitting in a truck, and we knew the coordinates of that truck, we could hit him in the driver's seat. Or something to that effect. -- Allan J. Heim / ...!uunet!sco!allanh / allanh@sco.COM | The Santa Cruz voice: +1 408 425 7222 x6343 / fax: +1 408 429 1887 | Operation, Inc.
