Description Known as the "ultimate interceptor," the F-106 Delta Dart remains the most advanced U.S. Air Force fighter designed specifically as an interceptor.
Facts Deployed in fighter interceptor squadrons to protect the United States from attack by Soviet bombers, the F-106 used a Hughes fire control system to locate its targets in any weather, day or night. The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system linked the interceptor with ground radar and control systems to direct it to its target. It was armed with infrared and radar-guided Falcon missiles as well as an unguided Genie rocket which carried a nuclear warhead. Later Delta Darts could be armed with a six-barrel 20-mm cannon.
