Unlikely, Talos was a 3400lb load for just the missile. The booster was another 4400lbs, 7800lbs total stack weight.


IF you could get the ramjet to start subsonic you could get away with not using the booster. Otherwise, you'd be looking at single carriage either in an A-3 (and you'd have to rig it to drop before igniting the booster) or under an A-4. Or maybe C-130s, Talos has a 110" wingspan, so fills a 78" square box!


Talos ARM is probably the answer for ship launched Talos AShM. Plus, with it diving down from 80,000ft the ARM could probably stretch the 130nm official range a little further.
