W64 (nuclear warhead)

Index W64 (nuclear warhead)

The W64 nuclear warhead was the Los Alamos Laboratory's entry into a brief competition between Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and Los Alamos to design an "enhanced-radiation" nuclear warhead (i.e., a "neutron bomb") for the United States Army's MGM-52 Lance tactical surface-to-surface missile. [1]

MGM-52 Lance

The MGM-52 Lance was a mobile field artillery tactical surface-to-surface missile (tactical ballistic missile) system used to provide both nuclear and conventional fire support to the United States Army.

Neutron bomb

A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself.

See W64 (nuclear warhead) and Neutron bomb

Nuclear weapon

A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb), producing a nuclear explosion.

Surface-to-surface missile

A surface-to-surface missile (SSM) or ground-to-ground missile (GGM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea.

See W64 (nuclear warhead) and Surface-to-surface missile

United States Army

The United States Army (USA) is the land service branch of the United States Armed Forces.

W63 (nuclear warhead)

The W63 was the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's entry into a brief competition between Livermore and Los Alamos to design a warhead for the Army's Lance tactical surface to surface missile. W64 (nuclear warhead) and W63 (nuclear warhead) are nuclear warheads of the United States and nuclear weapon stubs.

W70

W70 was a two-stage, thermonuclear warhead that was developed for the MGM-52 Lance missile by the United States. W64 (nuclear warhead) and W70 are nuclear warheads of the United States and nuclear weapon stubs.
