HARM Missile The AGM-88A high-speed antiradiation missile (HARM) (fig. 3-13) offers performance improvements over the existing Shrike and Standard ARM missiles when used for defense suppression and similar operations. The HARM missile, in conjunction with the launching aircraft’s avionics, detects, identifies, and locates enemy radars, displays threat information, and computes target parameters. The HARM missile is 10 inches in diameter, 194 inches long, and weighs 780 pounds. The missile operates in three basic modes: (1) self-protect (which attacks targets that pose immediate threat to the aircraft), (2) target of opportunity (which attacks discrete targets important to the tactical situation), and (3) prebrief (missile programmed to the vicinity of known or expected targets, and to A1. A2. A3. A4. A5. A6. A7. A8. A9. A10. attack when lock-on is achieved). Launch aircraft for the HARM are the A-6E, EA-6B, and F/A-18. Penguin Missile The AGM-119B (fig. 3-14) is a fire and forget, antisurface ship, all-up-round (AUR) missile. The missile uses inertial guidance and infrared (IR) homing. The AGM-119B is intended to be launched from the SH-60B LAMPS helicopter. It is the first helicopter-launched, air-surface, antiship missile system in the U.S. Navy inventory. The missile launch assembly (MLA) contains the missile control system (MCS) and attaches to the wing pylon of the SH-60B LAMPS Mk III helicopter. It provides mechanical attachment points for the missile launch/release system (BRU-14 rack with two AERO-1A adapters, which provide a 30-inch suspension capability). The MLA, with BRU-14 REVIEW NUMBER 3 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1. THROUGH Q10. Within the radome of the Sparrow III missile, the target seeker receives and interprets the radar energy reflected from the target. The flight control section, which consists of the autopilot and hydraulic group, provides the Sparrow III missile with control signals and mechanical energy to move external control surfaces to guide the missile, The DRTM is attached to the aft end of the missile flight control section of the Sparrow missile. The Harpoon guided missile is launched from A-6, F/A-18, S3, and P-3 aircraft. The Harpoon missile is less susceptible to radar detection because of its low-level cruise trajectory with over-the-horizon range. The sections of the Harpoon missile include the guidance, warhead, sustainer and boattail sections. Sidewinder missiles are equipped with passive infrared target detection. The five major components of the Sidewinder missile include the guidance and control section, target detector section, S&A device, warhead section, and rocket motor section. The S&A device is aligned by an interrupted firing train that is aligned by an acceleration arming device. Four Mk 1 Mod 0 or Mod 1 wings attached to the aft end of the motor tube provide aerodynamic lift and stability to the Sidewinder missile during flight. 3-16
