It was intended to be launched in large numbers 10 or more missiles launched nearly simultaneously was envisaged for a typical attack indeed the name Wasp derived from this swarm tactic. The missiles would follow a pre programmed path to the target area before activating a millimetric wave radar to identify and home on a specific target.

Testing of the radar system began in 1981, and the first prototype AGM 124 took place in 1983. Production was planned for 1987, but in October 1983 the program was cancelled.

  1. Wasp knife

    unreferenced date August 2011 Wasp Knife is a trade name for a large knife that contains a cylinder of compressed gas in the hilt. When stabbing a subject about one cubic foot or 28 liters of gas stored at 800 psi is rapidly injected deep into the wound site. The injected gas causes much more damage than a single knife wound, both from the displacement of internal organs and from the freezing effect of the free expansion of the gas. One well placed hit can easily kill or immobilize a large animal big game or an attacking predator . When used underwater the freezing effect helps to keep the animal from bleeding profusely, while the injected gas causes the animal to float to the surface. This can be very helpful in defending against aggressive sharks, while avoiding the blood release than can trigger a feeding frenzy in a group of sharks. The Wasp Knife was notably featured as a murder weapon in the Season 7 episode of CSI NY , CSI NY season 7 Episodes Identity Crisis , Season 8 episode 10 of NCIS TV series NCIS and Season 12 episode of Law & Order Special Victims Unit , Law & Order Special Victims Unit season 12 Episodes Bang .

In an attempt to salvage a sinking pop career, Cassidy recruited Todd Rundgren to help reinvent his music career. Members of Rundgren s group Utopia also played on the record and the work had a decidedly new wave feel. The majority of tracks featured on Wasp were cover songs . The album featured a version of David Bowie s song, Rebel Rebel where Cassidy included a passage from The Crystals He s a Rebel. Other covers included Peter Townshend s So Sad About Us, Ian Hunter singer Ian Hunter s Once Bitten, Twice Shy, the Talking Heads The Book I Read, The Animals 1965 hit It s My Life, and The Four Tops 1966 hit Shake Me, Wake Me. All of the other songs were written by Rundgren and various members of his band. Cassidy was given a co writing credit on Cool Fire. The reinvention of teenybopper Cassidy as an edgy new wave artist was not enough to capture the attention of audiences. The album was Cassidy s second album not to chart on the Billboard, essentially spelling the end of Cassidy s pop music career. He would score a final hit in Europe in 1989, with the standalone single Memory Girl .
