Description
Description | Project Brass Ring was an attempt by the U.S. Air Force starting in late 1949 to convert Boeing B-47 Stratojet bombers into remotely-piloted nuclear-weapons delivery vehicles. The project aimed to deliver hydrogen bombs without risking human pilots, considering the large size and blast effects of early nuclear weapons. The project faced technical challenges including navigation, control, and bomb size changes, and was ultimately cancelled in early 1953 due to operational infeasibility and advancements in nuclear weapon delivery technology. |
