The J85 was originally designed to power a large decoy missile, the McDonnell ADM-20 Quail.The Quail was designed to be released from a B-52 Stratofortress in-flight and fly for long distances in formation with the launch aircraft, multiplying the number of targets facing the SA-2 surface-to-air missile operators on the ground.
