Probably by someone who worked at McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA.
The 318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron used this weapon on the F106. The 106 also carried 4 AIM9 guided air-to-air missiles. The idea was that if NORAD detected a fleet of Russian bomber coming across the Pacific, the F106 interceptors would be send out, the AIM 9 would get them through some of the Russian fighters, then they would launch the ‘special weapon’, point blank, then turn around and run like hell. That's my guess anyway.

Correction: The F106s at McChord carried the AIM4 Falcon, not the AIM9 Sidewinder.
