Talk about a wasted opportunity and since this was during the cold-war I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were put into production it would've included a nuclear-armed version (Probably carrying something like a modified W-80 warhead).Air Force Fighters Almost Got An Air-Launched Ballistic Missile 40 Years Ago, Now They’re A Hot Item
The system would have let jet fighters rain guided ballistic missiles down on enemy forces, a concept that has now come of age.
Never heard of any, and that is an old system to convert. I thought there might be some interest in converting PrSM to air launch, but I think USAF will settle for SiAM for now.Talk about a wasted opportunity and since this was during the cold-war I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were put into production it would've included a nuclear-armed version (Probably carrying something like a modified W-80 warhead).Air Force Fighters Almost Got An Air-Launched Ballistic Missile 40 Years Ago, Now They’re A Hot Item

Has there been any serious consideration recently of developing an AGM-140 version developed from the MGM-140?

The one on the far left is made from a drawing of ATACMS Unitary (MGM-140E (MGM-168A)) They just fit inside the published cross section of a Mk57. Don't know the "stripped" cross section of a Mk41 so I didn't try to fit one in there. Whatever they did to fit an ATACMs though they likely did to fit LRASM though as it's also more than 21" dia.
NTACMS was real, but those drawings are not, AFAIK.
The real NTACMS fit, just barely, in a modified thin-wall Mark 41 canister.
A MODIFIED Army Tactical Missile System | Aviation Week Network
A MODIFIED Army Tactical Missile System was fired from a Navy Mk. 41 vertical launch canister in a test at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., ATACMS prime contractor Lockheed Martin Vought Systems reported. The missile had been fired previously at sea, but required a Multiple Launch Rocket System...
I've often though something like that but a small VLS with AIM-9X in it would be interesting. But then how do you keep the locals from damaging or stealing it. . .
Use standard tubes and disperse them. They shouldn't know live from dummy until it pops. Plus if anyone is acting suspicious around them you know the drill.
