Bigeye bomb
The Bigeye bomb was a proposed U.S. binary chemical weapon. The Bigeye was a glide bomb designed under the auspices of the U.S. Navy. Initially approved by the Carter administration, the program persisted into the early 1990s.
==Background==
As the stockpile of unitary chemical weapons began to leak in the 1970s, the Department of Defense was acutely aware of the public backlash this created.〔 With this in mind, the Pentagon insisted that it needed a binary chemical weapons program to counter and deter a Soviet or third-world chemical attack.〔Gordon, Michael R. "(Bush Keeping Chemical Arms Option )", ''The New York Times'', October 15, 1989, accessed November 11, 2008.〕 The U.S. Army's Chemical Corps was reactivated in 1976, and with it came the increased desire for the Army to acquire a retaliatory chemical capability in the form of that binary chemical weapons program.〔 Initially, the United States was in arms control talks with the Soviet Union, and then-President Jimmy Carter rejected Army requests for authorization of the binary chemical weapons program.〔 The talks deteriorated, and Carter eventually granted the request.〔 However, at the last minute Carter pulled the provision from the budget, this action left the decision on a retaliatory binary chemical weapons program to Ronald Reagan.〔
