	AGM-84 Harpoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Harpoon missile on display at the USS Bowfin museum at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
		Harpoon uses active radar homing and low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory to improve survivability and effectiveness.
		In development is the planned Harpoon II, intended to offer an expanded engagement envelope and advanced counter measures together with improved targeting.

		The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile with stubby wings.
		Each missile is stored and launched from a pressurized canister that protects it during transportation and storage and acts as a launch tube.
		The missile is launched and steered for the first few seconds of flight by a solid fuel booster with steering vanes in its exhaust.

		HARPOON BOOSTER For deployment from submarines, ground-based installations, and surface platforms, Harpoon employs a solid rocket booster to accelerate the missile to cruise velocity.
		For air-launched Harpoon, the booster is not used; the turbojet engine fires on command or automatically depending on speed and altitude of the launch aircraft.
		Using the MGU and data from the radar altimeter, the missile flies at the optimum height for the prevailing sea state.

		As it was the world's first case of firing a Harpoon missile from the U.S.-made F-16 fighter, the sources said, the test-firing results have received much attention in the international community.
		Both the U.S. Air Force and the Harpoon missile manufacturer, Boeing Co., sent technological personnel to assist the Air Force in preparing for the test-firing.
		He further said the air-to-ship Harpoon missiles installed on the F-16s belong to the AGM84A type, with a range of 120 kilometers.

		The Harpoon missile display dedication represents the hard work that SWDG in particular has undertaken to research and educate others in the use of this venerable weapon system, whether in the open ocean or near the shore.
		Harpoon has been with the fleet since 1976 when it was introduced in direct competition to then Soviet missiles that were being introduced and used.
		Given careful tactical preparation, the Harpoon missile can be employed in the littoral environment and, in spite of land, obstructions and background shipping, could still successfully attack an enemy vessel.

		The missiles are stored vertically in two index rings (16 missiles in the inner ring and 24 missiles in the outer ring) which rotate to the load position with the missile selected.
		The missiles carry an electronic ID which is determined by a probe mechanism.
		Firing data is downloaded to the missile via a multi pin connector which momentarily penetrates a synthetic water proof barrier.

		The Kormoran is a mid-sized antiship missile, with triangular sweptback cruciform wings mounted on its midsection, and cruciform tailfins.
		These missiles featured a true gyroscopic INS; their range was extended to 50 kilometers (31 miles), and the cruise altitude was reduced to 15 meters (50 feet) by using a radar altimeter.
		A supersonic antiship missile also cannot fly as low over the waves and has a more prominent infrared signature than that of a subsonic antiship missile, and the warning time for a subsonic missile is short enough.

		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.
		It is a high precision land-attack missile, which combines the airframe, engine and warhead of the anti-ship Harpoon with the WGU-10/B IIR seeker of the AGM-65D Maverick and the data link of the AGM-62 Walleye.

	Iowa Class: Missile Battery
		The Harpoon Weapons System is an anti-ship missile which gives the Iowa class an over-the-horizon strike capability only dreamed of by the original designers.
		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.

		Harpoon is a great tool when going after a Cruiser or Amphib Carrier, but shooting one at a Clemenche or similar vessel is just a little bit overkill.
		On the other hand, Harpoon or Exocet must be fed with a target information before firing, in the last terminal attack, Harpoon or Exocet start looking for the target with their radar to lock on.
		I believe that Harpoon is a good missile but I also disagree with some members of this forum that use of such a missile would be deemed an overkill.
