    Grumman A-6 Intruder nose radome modified with sensors to detect enemy radars for Intruders converted to A-6B "Iron Hand" configuration. Approximately 19 A-6Bs were built/converted from A-6A configuration for use in the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role (via use of the AGM-78 Standard Anti-Radiation Missile or "STARM") during the Vietnam War.
