BOMARC
The BOMARC was a surface launched pilotless interceptor missile designed to destroy enemy aircraft. 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.
