Gennie has become the most effective unguided anti-aircraft missile in history. It was the first to be equipped with a nuclear warhead. It was withdrawn from service at the same time as AIM-4.
AIR-2A (MB-1) Gennie Development work began in 1955. The first and only sharp firing of the missile took place on July 19, 1957. The missile was equipped with a nuclear warhead with the equivalent of 1.5 kt TNT. The pressure and heat effect of the warhead explosion was effective at about 300 m. The cost of a mass-produced missile was $ 7,000 and the nuclear warhead $ 243,000 (v.r.1962). Production ended in 1962 after the production of 1000-2000 pieces.
ATR-2A (MB-1-T) "Ting-a-Ling" was a training version of the missile. The nuclear explosion was simulated by a cloud of white smoke.
AIR-2B (MMB-1) Super Gennie the AIR-2A version has been improved. Development has stopped. Some improvements were used in the 1970s to upgrade the AIR-2A.
