SAC Seen Losing Bid For Better N Warheads
Washington AP report says Strategic Air Command lost its bid for a heavier nuclear warhead capable of destroying underground silos and hardened targets. Defense officials cited rejection by Secretary of the Air Force Robert Seamans Jr. as the cause, though Air Force sources say the idea may be revived after further study. Factors included money and possible disruption to the SALT talks with the Soviet Union. Gen. John D. Ryan cited a push to increase yield and improve accuracy to achieve hard target kill not in current inventory.
