W73 (核弹头)

W73是计划用于的AGM-53空对地导弹（英语：AGM-53 Condor）的核弹头，由洛斯阿拉莫斯科学实验室(现时的洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室)设计。^[1]W73核弹头的1970年被取消，取而代之安装在AGM-53空对地导弹的是纯常规弹头。AGM-53空对地导弹在1975年获批准进行生产，并预计生产250枚导弹，但因成本高昂而在1976年取消。^[2]

W73据报源自B-61战术核子弹，W73的直径为17英吋(430 mm)。^[3]

AGM-53空对地导弹发射时重2,130磅(970 kg)，搭载一枚286 kg(631磅)的核弹头。目前尚不清楚上述重量是指AGM-53空对地导弹的传统版本，还是搭载核弹头版本。^[2]
