In the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s the Army Air Forces (USAAF) Air Materiel Command (AMC) employed what were known as MX (Materiel, Experimental) numbers to identify its experiment projects. It also used MP (Materiel, Prototype) numbers to identify projects entered into their service test phase. This project numbering system carried over for a time after the Air Force (USAF) was established and its Air Research and Development Command (ARDC) replaced the USAAF's AMC. Follows are some known MX and MP project numbers and what they represented. After those are the Weapon System (WS) numbers. |
