The AGM-12 Bullpup missile is generally believed not to have been too successful. Nevertheless, numerous US aircraft were fitted with the associated ARW-73 and ARW-77 MCLOS guidance transmitters. Almost any attack-capable aircraft's flight manual from the 1960s and 1970s mentions such systems.
That being said, were the guidance transmitters generally removed from US aircraft from the early to mid-1970s, or were they left intact and simply forgotten?
Also, could more than one AGM-12 missile be launched at a time by a flight of two or more aircraft?
