Project Nike began in 1944 when the US military demanded a new defense system to combat the potential new jet aircraft, as existing gun-based systems proved completely incapable of dealing with the speeds and altitudes at which such planes operated.
Nike Hercules was included in SALT I discussions as an ABM.

By 1961, Thiokol had developed an improved version of its proven TE-82-1 Cajun rocket motor, which was in wide use in the Nike-Cajun sounding rocket.

Like the Cajun, the Apache was never launched by itself, but always used as upper stage in multi-stage sounding rockets.
