Well of course it's a guidance system, silly! They could use just a pocket
radio for a receiver.
I wonder if the Nike Ajax used any gyros at all, if the radar guidance
uplink was continuous from launch.
I imagine The Military Masterminds would not have expected the 'Bears' to be
accompanied by radar suppressing 'Thuds': "Fishboobs".
Also, what kind of propellant/oxidant was used?
Also, was the uplink data stream encrypted?
What kind of warhead did the nike Ajax have?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Can anyone ID this? The box said "NIKE AJAX."
