Minimal data available on this. Vintage late 1960’s, two seat, with apparently only two Sparrows, two Sidewinders and a 30-mm gun.

This one’s cool. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting, but what is the point of the nose intake, do the front intakes on the wings feeding the 4 engines close up at high speed or something?
The “engines” in the wings were typically tip-driven fans, run by turbojets located elsewhere in the vehicle. So the nose inlet fed the actual turbojets, which were probably located somewhere in the central fuselage. See the Vought V-460 diagrams here: http://www.aerospaceprojectsreview.com/blog/?p=100
