W25 Nuclear Warhead

The W25 was a small nuclear warhead developed by the United States Air Force for air-defense use. It was a fission device with a nominal yield of 1.5 kT. Development of the weapon began in 1954 at the behest of Douglas Aircraft for use against enemy bombers. The W25 was used for the MB-1 "Ding Dong" (later redesignated AIR-2 Genie), an unguided air-to-air rocket used by the F-89 Scorpion, F-101B, and F-106 interceptors. The MB-1 entered service in 1957, and was eventually redesignated the AIR-2 Genie. Limited numbers were still used for Air National Guard F-106 aircraft until December 1984.
