Found this amazing concept mockup in the back of closet at the estate of a former Boeing/Lockheed engineer that worked on fighter jets. There was tons of aviation stuff there, but this one really caught my eye.

Looks like a supersonic or hypersonic missle concept. Design metrics change drastically from subsonic to supersonic and that looks like a supersonic/hypersonic lifting body design.
Very cool, that's good to know!
My guess is, it's part of the initial design work for what became AGM-129.

I can definitely see a resemblance in the design. There were stacks of declassified documents in the file cabinets of the office in the house with all sorts of design specs and blue prints, along with binders of files from several companies, so it stands to reason that they were involved in developing that sort of thing. Also, I love the seriousness of your answers contrasted with your username.
