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.
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 ...
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 ...
The AN/ASQ-213 [1] HARM targeting system (HTS) is a targeting pod mounted to either of the engine inlet hardpoints of an F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. It enables the aircraft to track the location of hostile radar systems in any weather, and identify them to allow for usage of the AGM-88 HARM missile or other air-to-ground weapons. [ 2 ]
During the operation, it was the first Navy Reserve Squadron in Incirlik, the first EA-6B squadron to bring the AGM-88 HARM and to develop operation-specific Prowler HARM and jamming tactics, and the first to be overall mission commander for strike packages. The squadron maintained 100% mission coverage and a 96% sortie completion rate.
Additionally, the AGM-88G AARGM-ER, itself an evolution of the AGM-88 HARM, is being integrated into all three variants of the F-35. [12] [13] The F-35A and F-35C will have the ability to carry the AARGM-ER internally, while the F-35B will only be able to carry the missile externally owing to its smaller internal weapons bays.
