Naval Aircraft Factory TDN

The Naval Aircraft Factory TDN was an early unmanned combat aerial vehicle - referred to at the time as an "assault drone" - developed by the United States Navy's Naval Aircraft Factory during the Second World War. Developed and tested during 1942 and 1943, the design proved moderately successful, but development of improved drones saw the TDN-1 relegated to second-line duties, and none were used in operational service.
==Design and development==
The development of the radar altimeter and television in the early 1940s made remotely guided, bomb- or torpedo-carrying aircraft a practical proposition,〔Parsch 2005〕 and in January 1942, the Naval Aircraft Factory was instructed to initiate the development of such an aircraft, with a go-ahead for prototype construction being given in February.〔Naval Aviation News, Volume 55 (January 1973). p.12.〕 A production contract for 100 aircraft was issued in March, with John S. Kean being assigned as project manager of the TDN-1 project,〔Trimble 1990, p. 263.〕 with the aircraft being designed to be capable of using either television or radar as its guidance system.〔Newcome 2004, p.67.〕 Constructed mainly from wood, the TDN-1 had a fixed tricycle landing gear, and could be fitted with a conventional cockpit in place of its guidance equipment for test flights.〔Goebel 2010〕
In an example of the use of companies traditionally uninvolved in the aviation industry to reduce interference with higher priority projects, production of the final thirty aircraft was licensed to the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, a Michigan-based manufacturer of bowling balls and billiard tables.〔Cunningham 1951, p.91.〕
