RGM-59 Taurus
The RGM-59 Taurus was an American project, conducted by the United States Navy, that was intended to develop a surface-to-surface missile for use as a fire support weapon during amphibious landings, replacing heavy-caliber naval guns. Developed during the early 1960s, the project was cancelled before any hardware development was undertaken.
==Design and development==
In August 1961, the United States Navy issued a requirement for a new type of surface-to-surface missile, called the Landing Force Support Weapon (LFSW),〔DOD 4120.15-L (2004), p.84.〕 that was intended to replace the battleship and heavy cruiser force - then being retired - in the role of providing fire support of troops conducting amphibious landings.〔Parsch 2002〕〔
The LFSW requirement specified a rocket-powered missile,〔Morison and Rowe 1975, p.216.〕 armed with a conventional warhead, that would have an effective range of at least .〔 The LSFW missile was required to be equally as effective against soft targets as the naval guns and the unguided rockets that it was intended to replace.〔 Studies regarding the guidance system of the LFSW were conducted by the Applied Physics Laboratory, which determined that the ideal solution for the new missile was for it to utilise inertial guidance during the midcourse phase of its flight.〔〔 Terminal guidance would be provided by a tracking beacon, operated by the troops in the battle area. The missile, having locked onto the beacon, would offset from the beacon's position by an amount specified in the beacon signal, thereby striking the target with a high degree of accuracy.〔
