History
The RB 05 was developed as a ground attack missile for the AJ37 "Viggen" fighter-bomber and SAAB-105 trainer aircraft in 1967. The missile was tracer guided using radio controlled manual command to line of sight (MCLOS), which meant that aiming had to be done separate to piloting, either requiring a two-seat cockpit with a dedicated missile gunner, as per the Saab 105, or a central computer which could control the aircraft during guidance, as present on the Saab 37 Viggen.
During development, Saab used a variety of J35 "Draken" prototypes for testing. J35 prototypes with tandem trainer cockpits were used for many of the firing trials, as the guidance equipment could be easily retrofitted into the secondary cockpit to trial guidance with a dedicated missile gunner.
The Rb05 entered service in 1972 and was withdrawn from service in 2005.
