Atomic Shells and Missiles Expand Defense Arsenal
Washington reports the army and navy are fielding atomic warheads for guided missiles and atomic shells for artillery. The Navy plans to convert a cruiser to a missile launcher and test sinking ships at sea. Jet-powered Loon missiles and Bat gliders extend range. Air power emphasizes atomic bombs dropped by bombers, while radar and anti aircraft weapons improve. General Collins notes an anti aircraft guided missile showing promise beyond 14 miles. The era’s arsenal blends conventional and atomic tech with ongoing manpower needs.
