The Bold Orion missile also known as Weapons System 199B (WS-199B) was a prototype air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM) developed by Martin Aircraft during the 1950s. Developed in both one- and two-stage designs the missile was moderately successful in testing and helped pave the way for development of the GAM-87 Skybolt ALBM. In addition the Bold Orion was used in early anti-satellite weapons testing performing the first interception of a satellite by a missile.
