The Harpoon’s active radar guidance, warhead design, low-level cruise trajectory, and terminal mode sea-skim or pop-up maneuvers assure high survivability and effectiveness.
The Harpoon was also adapted for use on USAF B-52H bombers, which can carry from 8 to 12 of the missiles.
The Harpoon missile has been integrated on foreign F-16 aircraft and is presently being integrated on foreign F-15 aircraft.
