AIR-LAUNCHED WEAPONS

摘要

BRIEFING: The AGM-84K Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response (SLAM-ER), a retrofit upgrade to the baseline SLAM missile system, provides the Navy with a precise standoff-outside-area-defense (SOAD) capability. It fills an operational need within U.S. and allied armed forces for a surgical strike capability against high-value, fixed or relocatable land targets and ships at sea or in port, at standoff ranges greater than 150 nautical miles. It features an adaptive terrain-following, passive Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker, precise aim-point control through a man-in-the-loop data link and improved penetration warhead. For precision guidance, SLAM-ER uses an inertial navigation system (INS) integrated with a GPS receiver/processor for midcourse guidance, and the Maverick infrared seeker with an advanced weapon data link for terminal aim-point refinement and target identification.
