Historical and Technical Information

The AGM-86 ALCM is an American air-launched cruise missile designed by Boeing. Its main user is the US Air Force. The missile was created to be carried by strategic bombers, such as the B-52 Stratofortress. The AGM-86 project was initiated in the 1970s, with the first units entering service in 1982. The missiles have participated in numerous exercises and combat operations, including Allied Force 1999 and Operation Desert Storm 1991.

The AGM-86 features long range (over 2,400 km in the B version), low detectability, and high accuracy. Thanks to these capabilities, it continues to be a core element of America’s strategic deterrence forces.
