The Martin AGM-12 Bullpup was a U.S. radio-command-guided air-to-surface missile family developed in the 1950s for short-range attack. It entered Navy fleet service in 1959, later expanded into Bullpup B and C variants, and became one of the signature guided strike weapons carried by early attack aircraft.
