XLIM-49 Nike Zeus was an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was developed by Bell’s Nike team and was initially based on the earlier Nike Hercules anti-aircraft missile. The original Zeus A was designed to intercept warheads in the upper atmosphere and mounted a 25 kiloton W31 nuclear warhead to guarantee a kill.
