AGM-84 Harpoon
Length: 12' 7"
Weight: 1,145 kg
Range: 75 nm
Speed: 0.75 Mach
The Harpoon is a very
versatile anti-ship
missile; it can be
launched from aircraft,
submarines and ships.
The air-launched model
is used by the A-6,
F/A-18, P-3 and S-3.
The Harpoon uses
active radar to locate
the target, then
executes a pop-up
maneuver to strike
from above, improving
warhead penetration.
The U.S. Navy has
used the Harpoon
since the mid '70s.
