	BOMARC
		BOMARC refers alternately to the Bomarc missiles (Bomarc IM-99A and Super Bomarc IM-99B) and the Bomarc Missile Program.
		The name Bomarc was conceived as a merge of the two organisations who played the most prominent roles in its creation: Boeing and the Michigan Aeronautical Research Center[?] (MARC).
		The Super Bomarc IM-99B was the 99A's successor with improvements to its operational parameters.

	Bomarc Missile Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BOMARC and the SAGE guidance system were phased out in the late sixties as they were ineffective and costly.
		The supersonic Bomarcs were the first long-range anti-aircraft missiles in the world, and were capable of carrying conventional or nuclear warheads.
		SAGE allowed for remote launching of the Bomarc missiles, which were housed in on a constant combat-ready basis in individual launch shelters in remote areas.

	The 6555th, Chapter II, Section 3, LARK, BOMARC and SNARK Operations
		As the LARK program ended, attention shifted to the BOMARC, which was being developed as a tactical surface-to-air weapon system by the Boeing Aircraft Company and its sub-contractors (e.g., the University of Michigan, Westinghouse, Marquart Aviation Corporation and the Aerojet Corporation).
		Though neither program was particularly successful, the subsonic SNARK and the supersonic NAVAHO were a serious reflection of their times and an important part of the Cape's history: they were undertaken to give the United States an intercontinental cruise missile capability when confidence in an intercontinental ballistic missile capability remained slim.
		The contractor planned to transfer the SNARK test program to AFMTC by the end of 1951, but the Cape lacked adequate missile assembly and hangar space, and additional facilities had to be built before the program moved to AFMTC in the spring of 1952.

	BOMARC in California
		Testing started on the prototype missiles in June 1952 but the first launch didn't occur until 10 September 1952; from that point through 1958 there were hits than misses with the test missiles rarely working as advertised.
		The boundary wall foundations for the missile maintenance/assembly building are in place and obvious and if you move south into the field you'll find the broken up remains of one of the missile shelter floors.
		The missiles were housed on a constant combat-ready basis in individual launch shelters in remote areas.

	Cape Canaveral
		This complex was constructed for the Snark winged missile program, and may have supported some Matador combat training launches in the 1950s.
		In all, 92 Minuteman I, II and III missiles were launched from the complexes between 1 February 1961 and 15 December 1970.
		Though Complex 41 was deactivated at the end of 1977, it was upgraded for the Titan IV program in the 1986-88 period under a $57 million refurbishment project.

	Boeing CIM-10A "BOMARC" - United States Nuclear Forces
		Propelled at launch by a rocket booster until it reached sufficient speed for its ramjets to operate, it was guided from the ground to the vicinity of its target at which time it came under control of an internal target seeker.
		BOMARC flight test operations began at the end of June 1952, but equipment shortages conspired to delay the first launch until 10 September 1952.
		Bomarc -As were phased out in the mid-1960s, but beginning in 1962 some were modified and flown as supersonic, high altitude target drones (CQM-10a).

		To appreciate the situation of Canadian air defence in the post-Arrow period it helps to look at the Bomarc missile, which contributed greatly to the feeling that the Arrow was no longer needed.
		The Bomarc was an unmanned missile that carried a nuclear warhead.
		Bomarc, oddly enough in light of future rationales for the Arrow cancellation, was never designed to take out intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), but rather bombers that had slipped through the manned interceptor defence.

	Yorkshire CND - Missile defence: sorta, kinda, maybe - 6/8/04
		The incremental approach to missile defence is probably driven by a desire not to alienate the many progressive Canadians who voted Liberal rather than NDP earlier this summer.
		And Ottawa should insist on language that specifically precludes the placement of small nuclear warheads on the interceptor missiles, as was done with the Bomarc and Safeguard systems to bypass the enormous technological challenge of differentiating between incoming missiles and associated decoys.
		Since any unprovoked missile strike on the United States would be suicidal for the attacking state, the threat (such as it is) is restricted to retaliatory or accidental launches.

	Nuclear ABMs of the USA
		BOMARC while Bumblebee was more prolific and produced Talos, Tartar, Terrior and a number of other prototype missiles which never reached service including the Typhoon.
		Although these are not specificly anti-ballistic missiles (ABM), these programs and missiles provided an extensive base of knowledge and expertise required for the intercept of objects in flight.
		The beginning of the Nike Zeus program was the start of a long series of programs the US utilised over the 18 years, which culminated in the closing down of the single ABM base that the US had deployed.

	ADM-20 Quail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The projects included the GAM-71 Buck Duck, a rocket-powered vehicle which was intended to equip the Convair B-36, the SM-73 Bull Goose, a ground-launched long-range jet-powered decoy, and the GAM-72 Green Quail, a turbojet-powered air-launched decoy to equip the B-52 Stratofortress force.
		The missile would be lowered out of the bay and the wings and tail unfolded and engine started before it was dropped clear.
		Although the Quail has long been forgotten as an operational missile, the engine that was originally developed for this very small cruise missile, the J85 found wide application in small business and military jets.

		This complex was built to support the Bomarc interceptor missile program, but also supported Bumper, Jason, Redstone, X-17 and Polaris ballistic missile operations.
		Following the last Bomarc launch in April 1960, some Bomarc support facilities were converted into a medical support area for Project Mercury.
		This was to be a maximum range test of a two-stage vehicle, to study the problems in staging.

		Another new feature on the 1103A was a program interrupt capability, which had been developed on an 1103 at the NACA (forerunner agency to NASA) Lewis Research Center in Cleveland.
		A team led by Frank Mullaney and Noel Stone developed the 1104 as a 30-bit variation of the 1103 for Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which was a subcontractor to Boeing on the BOMARC missile program.
		Boeing was building the BOMARC air defense missile for the Air Force, and it needed a ground-based computer to serve as part of the control system for the missile.

		Once the Minuteman missile was ready for use by the Air Force, the Titan was no longer needed for military purposes, but the improved Titan III was used as a vehicle for launching scientific payloads.
		The 1824 maintained the separation of program from variable data memory and kept the 24-bit data word size of the Athena, but was a completely new design in every other respect.
		The first missile firings were in November 1965, and the ABM program, later renamed Sentinel and then Safeguard, continued until 1975.

	SAGE-BOMARC (Les Earnest)
		When a given missile received a launch command from SAGE, sent via land lines, the roof would roll back, the missile would erect, and if it had received a complete set of initial guidance commands in the meantime it would launch in the specified direction.
		Testing the fire-up decoder It was clearly important to ensure that the electronic guidance system in the missile was working properly, so the Boeing engineers who designed the launch control system included a test feature that would generate a set of synthetic launch commands so that the missile electronics could be monitored for correct operation.
		I sought out the Subsystem I program manager while I was there and asked if our group was the only one being offered this "free system." He said that we were just one of a number of groups that were being flown in over several months time.

		The QB-47 that crashed was used for Bomarc Missile Program tests, which normally operated from Auxillary Field Three, located approximately 15 miles from the main base.
		However, stresses due to low altitude operations led to a number of crashes, and an extensive refit program was initiated in 1958 to strengthen the wing mountings.
		Apparently most of the missiles fired on them were directed for a near-miss, but the QB-47Es were nonetheless eventually whittled down to two survivors that were retired in the early 1970s.
