As jammers proliferated, a number of existing ARMs such as the AGM-88 HARM was modified to also target jammers as the source of radiation. [2] Jammers also led to the addition of a home-on-jam feature to missiles that usually use a different targeting mode (e.g. active radar homing, semi-active radar homing, GPS), allowing them to switch to an anti-radiation targeting mode when radar ...
The AGM-88 HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile) is a tactical, air-to-surface anti-radiation missile designed to home in on electronic transmissions coming from surface-to-air radar systems. It was originally developed by Texas Instruments as a replacement for the AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 Standard ARM system.
ALARM (Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missile) is a British anti-radiation missile designed primarily to destroy enemy radars for the purpose of Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD). It was used by the RAF and is still used by the Royal Saudi Air Force. [2] The weapon was retired by the UK at the end of 2013. [3]
The Kh-31 (Russian: Х-31; AS-17 'Krypton') [7] is a Soviet and Russian air-to-surface missile carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29, Su-35 and the Su-57.It is capable of Mach 3.5 and was the first supersonic anti-ship missile that could be launched by tactical aircraft.
The AGM-136A Tacit Rainbow was a United States military anti-radiation missile program run from 1982 to 1991. The requirement was for a low-cost air-launchable system to aid in the destruction of enemy air defense networks.
The AGM-78 Standard ARM or STARM [1] was an anti-radiation missile developed by General Dynamics, United States.It was built on the airframe of the RIM-66 Standard surface-to-air missile, resulting in a very large weapon with considerable range, allowing it to attack targets as much as 50 miles (80 km) away.
It was phased out by U.S. in 1992 [1] and at an unknown time by the Israeli Air Force (the only other major user), and has been superseded by the AGM-88 HARM missile. The Israel Defense Forces developed a version of the Shrike that could be ground-launched with a booster rocket, and mounted it on an M4 Sherman chassis as the Kilshon (Hebrew for ...
A US Navy EA-18G Growler, loaded with AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles. Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD, pronounced / ˈ s iː-æ d /), also known in the United States as "Wild Weasel" and (initially) "Iron Hand" operations, are military actions to suppress enemy surface-based air defenses, including not only surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) but also ...
