	Harpoon missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Harpoon missile on display at the USS Bowfin museum at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
		The chief competitors of the Harpoon are the French Exocet and the Chinese Yingji.
		The Harpoon was first introduced in 1977 after the sinking of the Israeli destroyer Eilat in 1967 by Soviet-built anti-ship missiles.

	HMAS Sydney
		The ship continued in service as a carrier until 1955 when her newer sister ship, HMAS Melbourne, took over the RAN's aircraft carrier role.
		However, in 1962 she was reactivated and converted to a fast troop transport until her eventual retirement in 1973.
		During the period Sydney was the training ship for many new members of the RAN and from 1965 she was heavily committed to the support of the Australian Task Force in Vietnam.

	AGM-84 Harpoon/SLAM - Smart Weapons
		The Harpoon missile provides the Navy and the Air Force with a common missile for air, ship, and submarine launches.
		Other weapons (such as the Standard and Tomahawk missiles) can be used against ships, but Harpoon and Penguin are the only missiles used by the United States military with anti-ship warfare as the primary mission.
		Harpoon Block II will be capable of deployment from all platforms which currently have the Harpoon Missile system by using existing command and launch equipment.

	Harpoon
		The missile flies at a low cruise altitude, and at a predetermined distance from the expected target position, its AN/DSQ-28 J-band active radar seeker in the nose is activated to acquire and lock on the target.
		In this mode, the missile is launched in the general direction of the target, and its radar activated from the beginning to scan for the target in a +/- 45° sector in front of the flight path.
		This missile can be launched in the general direction of the target and will automatically select a target by comparing the stored reference image with the IIR seeker image without the need for operator intervention.

	Saar 5
		The ship's anti-air capability is based on the Barak missile system developed by IAI and Rafael.
		Harpoons are deployed on Israeli Navy surface ships and submarines.
		The ship's short to medium-range anti-ship missile is the IAI Gabriel II.

	Iowa Class: Missile Battery
		During the reactivation of the Iowa Class Battleships in the 1980’s two cruise missile systems were installed to enhance the ships modern fighting ability.
		When the missile is fired a booster propels the missile away from the ship, after approximately 5 miles the booster drops away and is discarded.
		This is an offensive missile system which gives the Iowa class a very long-range strike capability against both surface and land targets.

	AGM-84 Harpoon
		The Harpoon's active radar guidance, warhead design, and low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory assure high survivability and effectiveness.
		The missile is capable of being launched from surface ships, submarines, or (without the booster) from aircraft.
		Originally developed for the US Navy to serve as its basic anti-ship missile for fleetwide use, the AGM-84D has been adapted for use on Air Force B-52G bombers, which can carry from eight to 12 of the missiles.

	.: World Missile Systems Online \| AMI International \| About WMSO :.
		Harpoon is by far the most successful Western anti-ship missile, over 6000 having been made.
		It was conceived in 1965 as an air-launched missile (a 25nm Bullpup successor), primarily to attack surfaced submarines (hence the name: a harpoon to attack whales).
		The missile's wings are moved forward to maintain the same angle of attack, and its guidance system is modified for maximum commonality with SLAM (AGM-84E).

	C-802
		Since the missile has a small radar reflectivity and is only about five to seven meters above the sea surface when it attacks the target, and since its guidance equipment has strong anti-jamming capability, target ships have a very low success rate in intercepting the missile.
		These missiles initially acquired by Iran were not equipped with advanced systems, and the missiles acquired by Iran were rather outdated.
		The YJ-22 is a land-attack cruise missile development of the anti-ship C-802 with a 400km range, and possible GPS/TM guidance currently said to be under development with an IOC expected after 2005.

		The missile that hit the Hanit was a C-802, an Iranian-made variant of a stealthy, turbojet-powered, Chinese weapon.
		Likewise the anti-missile defense systems will not in anyway splash friendly aircraft, the range of the phalanx gun coupled with the operating altitude of jets armed with pgms makes this an impossibility as evidenced by the fact that a nearby idf vessel had it's ecm pakage and anti-missile phalanx gun operational.

	Boeing Harpoon Block II Missile Tested by U.S. Navy
		Harpoon Block II is an upgraded version of the world's most successful anti-ship missile, which is in service with the armed forces of 26 countries.
		Harpoon Block II also provides accurate long-range guidance by incorporating the low-cost inertial measuring unit from the Boeing Joint Direct Attack Munition program; and the software, mission computer, integrated Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System and the GPS antenna and receiver from the Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response.
		The multi-mission Block II missile can be deployed from all current Harpoon missile system platforms with either existing command and launch equipment or the new Advanced Harpoon Weapon Control System.

	Perth 2 History
		In particular, the performance of the guided missile system, the Sea Slug, then being developed, failed to impress; instead the tried and proven United States Tartar system selected for the DDG class of destroyers was considered to be superior.
		The ships were based on an improved Forrest Sherman class, the main differences being that the Adams class was fitted with Tartar anti aircraft guided missiles instead of the Sherman's aftermost 5-inch gun, and an aluminium superstructure.
		Refits have included the fitting of airconditioning, upgrade of the missile firing and control systems, the replacement of the Tartar missile with the Standard missile and the modification of the missile systems to fire the Harpoon anti ship missiles.

		The Harpoon Missile was adapted for use on B-52H bombers, which can carry eight missiles externally on pylons.
		External carriage of Harpoon Missiles allows the B-52 to additionally upload U.S. Navy sea mines internally in the bomb bay providing the theater commander a long-range, rapid response platform for sea control and area denial.
		In May 1994, after Loring AFB closed and after the retirement of the last B-52G at Castle AFB, Calif., the Harpoon mission was moved to the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, La. Four B-52H models were rapidly modified (as an interim measure) to accept Harpoon launch control equipment pending B-52H fleet modification.

	Austin Bay Blog » An analysis of the Hezbollah anti-ship missile strike
		The C-802 series missile is clone of the rocket powered French Exocet missile upgraded with a turbojet to give it performance comparable to early marks of the US Navy Harpoon anti-ship missile.
		We are also in agreement with it being two C-802 missiles, but not necessarily with the same-truck launcher scenario. The reason for the agreement is the damage done to the ship -it was a bit much for a 29kg warhead.
		The Barak anti-missile missile and Phalanx are fully automated in anti-missile modes. They will strike anything that flies in their defense zones that is not squawking the proper identification friend or foe (IFF) transponder signal.
