XSM-73 Goose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fairchild XSM-73 Goose (originally Bull Goose) was a U.S. prototype decoy missile intended to mimic the radar return of a heavy bomber such as the Convair B-36, B-47 Stratojet, or B-52 Stratofortress. The first example flew in 1957, but the program was cancelled the following year.
