W79 PAINTCODE MOD
A total of 550 warheads (325 Mod 0s, 225 Mod 1s) were produced. Production of the different mods took place from July 1981 through August 1986. The W79 was developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, starting in 1975. The Mod 1 was fission-only with a fixed 0.8 kt (3.3 TJ) yield, corresponding with the maximum fission only yield of the Mod 0īoth models were 8 in (203 mm) in diameter, 44 in (1,100 mm) long and weighed 200 lb (91 kg).
Produced in two models, the enhanced radiation W79 Mod 0 and fission-only W79 Mod 1. The W79 Artillery-Fired Atomic Projectile (AFAP), also known as the XM753 (Atomic RA) was an American nuclear artillery shell, capable of being fired from any NATO 8 in (203 mm) howitzer e.g. An inert M754 training version of the warheadĢ4 kilometres (15 mi) or 30 kilometres (19 mi) with rocket assist Ġ.1 to 1.1 kilotonnes of TNT (0.42 to 4.60 TJ) (Mod 0), 0.8 kilotonnes of TNT (3.3 TJ) (Mod 1)
