RGM- 84 HARPOON
BRIEFING: The AGM-84D Harpoon, an autonomous, all-weather, over-the-horizon anti-ship missile, uses midcourse
guidance with a radar seeker to attack surface ships. Its low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory, active radar guidance
and warhead design ensure high survivability and effectiveness. The Harpoon is deployed onboard U.S. Navy surface
combatants as well as F- 18 Hornet, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet,
P- 3 Orion and P- 8 Poseidon aircraft.
In 1998, the RGM-84L Harpoon Block II was introduced
as an upgrade, which incorporates the inertial measuring unit
from the Joint Direct-Attack Munition. Harpoon Block II is
capable of executing anti-ship missions by using GPS-aided
inertial navigation. These Block II improvements maintain
Harpoon’s high-hit probability even against ships very close
to land or neutral shipping. It is deployable from all current
Harpoon missile system platforms with existing command-and-launch equipment or the new Advanced Harpoon Weapon
Control System. The Block II version was not adopted by
the U.S. Navy, but has been integrated on foreign F- 16 and
F- 15 aircraft, as well as, numbers of international surface
combatants.
The latest upgrade is the RGM-84N Harpoon Block II+,
which includes a new GPS guidance kit, improved weapon
reliability and survivability, and a new data-link interface
that enables in-flight updates and improved target selectivity.
Fleet introduction is planned on F/A-18E/F in 2017 followed by
P-8A in 2019.

SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES
MK60 GRIFFIN MISSILE SYSTEM (GMS)
BRIEFING: The Mk60 GMS is installed aboard Cyclone-class
patrol ships (PCs) and achieved initial operational capability
(IOC) in October 2013. PC combatants with the GMS installed
possess a layered small boat defense capability building upon
the point defense provided with the Mk38 gun system. The
Mk60 consists of the following system components: Mk4 Battle
Management System, Mk208 Griffin Launcher Module, SSQ- 133
BRITE Star II electro-optical/infrared system and the BGM-
176B Griffin B surface-to-surface missile.

LCS SURFACE-TO-SURFACE
MISSILE MODULE (SSMM)
BRIEFING: The SSMM is designed as a solution for an
anti-surface missile for the LCS. The Navy selected the AGM-
114 Hellfire Longbow missile version as the weapon for the
system. A restrained test firing was conducted in October
2016. A test firing from an LCS is scheduled for March 2017,
followed by deployment in December 2017.

RIM- 7 SEA SPARROW
BRIEFING: The RIM- 7 Sea Sparrow, a development of the
AIM- 7 Sparrow air-to-air missile, is used to defend against
anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The Sea Sparrow has a cylindrical body with four mid-body wings and four tail fins. The
short-range, semi-active homing missile makes flight corrections via radar uplinks. The missile has been upgraded to
the RIM-7P with a reprogrammable missile-borne computer,
rear receiver and a newly developed surface-to-surface/
anti-low-velocity air threat capability. It is fired from a trainable Mk29 Guided-Missile Launching System onboard aircraft
carriers and amphibious assault ships.
