(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 attack when lock-on is achieved). Launch aircraft for the HARM are the 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 attached,  carries  and  launches  the  Penguin  missile  on command. REVIEW NUMBER 3 ANSWERS A1. Within the radome of the Sparrow III missile, the target seeker receives and interprets the radar energy reflected from the target. A2. 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. A3. The  DRTM  is  attached  to  the  aft  end  of  the missile  flight  control  section  of  the  Sparrow missile. A4. The Harpoon guided missile is launched from F/A-18, S3, and P-3 aircraft. A5. The  Harpoon  missile  is  less  susceptible  to radar   detection   because   of   its   low-level cruise trajectory with over-the-horizon range. A6. The  sections  of  the  Harpoon  missile  include the  guidance,  warhead,  sustainer,  and  boat- tail sections. A7. Sidewinder missiles are equipped with passive infrared target detection. A8. The five major components of the Sidewinder missile   include   the   guidance   and   control 3-16 Figure 3-14.—AGM-119B Penguin missile.
