	AGM-114 Hellfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hellfire (along with the Maverick and the air-launched TOW) was to be replaced by the Joint Common Missile (JCM) around 2011.
		Despite the expanded acronym, most versions of the Hellfire missile are not truly "fire-and-forget"—all the laser-guided versions require constant illumination or "painting" of the target from launch to impact.
		The Hellfire II is the optimized version of the laser family of Hellfire missiles.

	Air Power Analysis: AGM-114 Hellfire
		At 5.3 feet in length and 7 inches in diameter, the Hellfire is a compact design capable of a range of approximately 8 km.
		Maximum velocity for the Hellfire is Mach 1.4, approximately 950 mph.
		Protruding from the airframe are two sets of cruciform wings, with the first set located within the first quarter of the missile's fuselage, and the second set mounted at the tail end.

	Hellfire
		The AGM-114 Hellfire is a fire-and-forget anti-armour missile mainly for use by helicopters.
		Although the Hellfire II uses a tandem warhead like the AGM-114F, the improved systems allowed the use of the original shorter airframe of the AGM-114A/B/C. Because of its lighter components, maximum range is somewhat larger than that of the AGM-114F.
		Foreign derivatives of Hellfire include the Swedish RBS-17, a shore-based coast-defense derivative of the AGM-114A with a blast-fragmentation warhead, and the British Brimstone, an anti-armour variant with a MMW seeker of higher performance than that of the AGM-114L.

	AGM-114 Hellfire - en
		Hellfire was born of the AGM-64 Hornet, a technology demonstrator built between 1963-66 by North American Rockwell.
		After the Hellfire is launched, a laser designator must be brought to bear on the target by either the firing aircraft or a ground-based unit.
		The Hellfire is primarily used in an anti-tank role.
