The AGM-53A Condor was a long-range, high-precision air-to-surface missile built by Rockwell for the United States Navy under a 1962 requirement, intended to use a television guidance system with a data link to its launching aircraft, similar to the contemporaneous AGM-62 Walleye program. It first flew in March 1970 and could carry either a 630 pound shaped-charge warhead or a W73 nuclear warhead out to about 60 nautical miles at up to Mach 2.9, but it never entered operational service and the program was cancelled in March 1976 after proving too costly against other available tactical air-to-ground weapons.
