		Mavericks can be launched from high altitudes to tree-top level and can hit targets ranging from a distance of a few thousand feet to 13 nm at medium altitude.
		It enables the Maverick to lock on at at least twice the range otherwise possible in north-west Europe in adverse weather, since IR wavelengths are less attenuated in clear air.
		The E, F and G Maverick employ a 300 pound penetrator/blast fragmentation warhead which was developed for maximum effectiveness against a broad spectrum of reinforced targets.
