The AGM-12 Bullpup is a short-range air-to-ground missile developed by Martin Marietta for the United States Navy, among the earliest precision-guided air-to-ground weapons and the first to be mass produced. It first saw operational use in 1959 aboard the A-4 Skyhawk, entering Navy service on the USS Lexington that April, and went on to arm the A-6 Intruder, F-100 Super Sabre, F-105 Thunderchief, F-4 Phantom II, F-8 Crusader and P-3 Orion in both American and NATO service.
