Maverick
The AGM-65E (laser) and AGM-65F (infrared)
(fig. 8-15) are guided, rocket-propelled, air-to-ground
missiles that are designed for use against fortified
ground installations, armored vehicles, and surface
combatants. The Maverick consists of two major
sections—the guidance and control section and the
center/aft section. The Maverick is compatible with the
AV-8 Harrier and F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The only
assembly required at fleet level is the installation of the
fins.
