Description
The AGM-86B ALCM (Air Launched Conventional Missile) is armed with a nuclear warhead and can be carried and launched internally and externally from the B-52H bomber. Its long range allows the B-52H to operate out of the enemy air defenses while AGM-86B's cruise flight profile makes itself survivable against the air defenses. The navigation system consists of a terrain-correlation system which provides location updates in flight. The US Air Force plans to convert part of existing nuclear-armed AGM-86Bs to conventionally-armed AGM-86C/D configurations.
