The Lobber was a surface-to-surface cargo missile developed during the mid 1950s by Convair for use by the United States Army.

Inspired by the use of artillery shells to resupply surrounded troops during the Battle of the Bulge,[1] a contract for the development of a cargo missile was awarded to Convair in 1958 by the U.S.

[2] A portable, mortar-like launcher was used;[4] it allowed for a three-man team to transport and fire the missile;[5] Lobber was described as being able to reliably hit a target "within the length of a football field" and was expected to cost less than $1,000 USD per round.

[8] Flight testing proved highly successful, and Convair proposed variants with explosive, chemical, and nuclear warheads;[2] the United States Marine Corps also considered adopting the missile,[9] and it was also proposed to develop a variant for anti-submarine warfare usage by the United States Navy.

[11] However the inherent inaccuracy of the unguided, solid-fueled rocket,[2] combined with logistical issues, meant that Lobber was not adopted for service.
