The AGM-114 Hellfire is an American missile developed for anti-armor use, [6] later developed for precision [7] drone strikes against other target types, especially high-value targets. [8] It was originally developed under the name " Heliborne laser, fire-and-forget missile", which led to the colloquial name "Hellfire" ultimately becoming the ...
A key difference between the Kiowa Warrior and original AHIP aircraft is a universal weapons pylon found mounted on both sides of the fuselage, capable of carrying combinations of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, air-to-air Stinger (ATAS) missiles, 7-shot 2.75 inches (70 mm) Hydra-70 rocket pods, [92] and an M296 0.50 in (12.7 mm) caliber machine gun.
Types of missiles: Conventional guided missiles. Air-to-air missile; Air-to-surface missile; Anti-radiation missile; Anti-ballistic missile; Anti-satellite weapon
This list of missiles by country displays the names of missiles in order of the country where they originate (were developed), with the countries listed alphabetically and annotated with their continent (and defence alliance, if applicable).
There are at least ten authorized armament configurations, which involve a mix of a system specific gun pod mounting the M296.50 caliber machine gun (left side only), the M260 7-shot 2.75in/70mm Lightweight Launcher (LWL), the M279 2-rail AGM-114 Hellfire launcher, or a 2-shot Air-to-Air Stinger (ATAS) launcher.

Examples of LOAL weapons include the Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile and later versions of the AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missile. The older method of launch has retroactively become known as lock-on before launch (LOBL), although this term is not commonly used and is a "backronym" that distinguishes it from the LOAL method.
Finally, Marconi and Rockwell offered Brimstone, a version of AGM-114 Hellfire with a mmW seeker. [16] Texas Instruments entered Griffin-38, a small direct-attack weapon, but it was unpowered and lacked the required stand-off range. [15] The project was officially started in 1988, before the end of Cold War, and the project was cancelled. [5]
