The ALCM traces its history to the ADM-20 Quail missile, which began development in February 1956. Quail was the ultimate outcome of several similar programs to develop a small decoy aircraft that would be launched from bombers during their approach to targets, presenting false targets to saturate the defenses and allow the bombers to escape an attack.
SPEAR-EW is designed loiter in contested airspace and act as either a stand-in jammer or a decoy similar to the ADM-160 MALD. [ 31 ] [ 33 ] [ 3 ] The UK had reportedly shown interest in the capabilities of MALD at the 2009 at the Paris Air Show .
