Air to Air Ordnance AIM-120 AMRAAM Slammer Range: 25~30 miles under optimal conditions (from a high altitude launch against a high-speed nonmaneuvering target) Guidance: Radar Target: Aircraft AMRAAM is a supersonic, air launched, aerial intercept, guided missile employing active radar target tracking, proportional navigation guidance, and active Radio Frequency (RF) target detection. It employs active, semi-active, and inertial navigational methods of guidance to provide an autonomous launch and leave capability against single and multiple targets in all environments. AIM-9 Sidewinder Guidance: IR Range: 8+ miles depending on altitude and aspect Target: Aircraft The missile's main components are an infrared homing guidance section, an active optical target detector, a high-explosive warhead, and a rocket motor. The infrared guidance head enables the missile to home on target aircraft engine exhaust. An infrared unit costs less than other types of guidance systems, and can be used in day/night and electronic countermeasures conditions. The infrared seeker also permits the pilot to launch the missile, then leave the area or take evasive action while the missile guides itself to the target. Variants AIM-9M - The M model has improved defense against infrared countermeasures, enhanced background discrimination capability, and a reduced-smoke rocket motor. This model has all aspect IR capability. AIM-9P Less sophisticated than the M variant, the P model must have rear aspect lock on the target. The P Model is not as maneuverable as the M model.

AIM-7 Sparrow Range: 15 Guidance: Semi-Active Radar Target: Aircraft The AIM-7 Sparrow is a radar-guided, air-to-air missile with a high-explosive warhead. The AIM/RIM-7 series is a semiactive, air-to-air, boost-glide mis sile, designed to be either rail or ejection launched. Semiactive, continuous wave, homing radar, and hydraulically-operated control surfaces direct and stabilize the missile on a proportional navigational course to the target. The AIM-7 semi-active guidance system requires that the aircraft it is fired from must continue to paint the target with radar until impact. Air to Ground Ordnance LAU-3 Rocket Launcher Range: 2 miles Guidance: balistic Target: Mobile soft, fixed soft, and unhardened buildings Launchers convey and provide a suitable platform from which rockets are carried and launched. The LAU-3 series Rocket Launcher contains 19 2.75 in rockets. The launcher can be fired in single (one at a time) or ripple (one after the other in multiple shots) mode. In ripple mode, the LAU-3 can fire 19 rounds in about one second. There are no service life requirements on the launcher.

AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon [JSOW] Range:12 nm (24km) Low altitude launch (unpowered) 40 nm (64 km) High altitude launch (unpowered) ->120 nm (200 km) Powered Guidance: GPS/INS Target: Mobile soft, fixed soft, and armored targets The warhead of the AGM -154A consists of 145 BLU-97/B submunitions. Each bomblet is designed for multi-target in one payload. The bomblets have a shaped charge for armor defeat capability, a fragmenting case for material destruction, and a zirconium ring for incendiary effects. AGM-65 Maverick Range: 17+ miles (12 nautical miles/27 km) Guidance: see variants information below Target: see variants information below The AGM -65 Maverick is a tactical, air-to-surface guided missile designed for close air support, interdiction and defense suppression missions. It provides stand-off capability and high probability of strike against a wide range of tactical targets, including armor, air defenses, ships, transportation equipment and fuel storage facilities. Maverick was used during Operation Desert Storm and, according to the Air Force, hit 85 percent of its targets. Variants Maverick A is armed with a 125lb. Warhead and guided by the most basic TV imaging. This is a daylight only weapon, ideal for tanks. Smoke and/or haze will interfere with image tracking Maverick B is armed with a 125lb. Warhead and guided by TV imaging without IR capabilities. The B model is basically an upgrade from the A model. It has improved optics and targeting. But this is still only a daylight only weapon, ideal for tanks. Smoke and/or haze will still interfere with image tracking Maverick D is armed with a 125lb. Warhead and guided by IR imaging. This allows for all weather and nighttime operations. The superior imaging allows for magnification which enables locking on from greater distances. The smaller warhead makes this an ideal night time tank strike, small vehicle, and soft target weapon Maverick G is armed with a 300lb. HE Warhead and guided by IR imaging. This allows for all weather and nighttime operations. The large warhead makes the G model ideal for hardened targets and large vehicles such as ships.

AGM-88 HARM Range: 30 plus miles (48 plus kilometers) Guidance: passive RF acquisition Target: Radar-equip Air Defense Systems The AGM -88 HARM (high-speed antiradiation missile) is a supersonic air-tosurface tactical missile designed to seek and destroy enemy radar-equipped air defense systems. The AGM -88 can detect, attack and destroy a target with minimum aircrew input. Guidance is provided through reception of signals emitted from a groundbased threat radar. It has the capability of discriminating a single target from a number of emitters in the environment. The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile nose. A smokeless, solid-propellant, dual-thrust rocket motor propels the missile. The Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 and EA -6B have the capability to employ the AGM-88. With the retirement of the F-4, the F-16C is the only aircraft in the current Air Force inventory to use the AGM -88. The B version has an improved guidance section which incorporates an improved tactical software and electronically reprogrammable memory. BLU-107 Durandal Target: Anti-Runway Once the parachute-retarded low-level drop bomb attains a nose-down attitude, it fires a rocket booster that penetrates the runway surface, and a delayed explosion buckles a portion of the runway. It can penetrate up to 40 centimeters of concrete, creating a 200 square meter crater causing damage more difficult to repair than the crater of a general-purpose bomb. BSU-49 High Drag General Purpose High Explosive Target: bridges, unhardened buildings, electronic installations, tanks, armored personnel carriers, SAMs, and AAA a MK-82 (500lb Low Drag General Purpose (LDGP) bomb.) modified by attaching a BSU-49 AIR tail assembly. The tail assembly provides a high speed, low altitude delivery capability due to increasing the bomb trail. Additionally, bomb ricocheting or broaching is less likely due to increased impact angles. The high drag delivery can provide better weapon effects due to impact angle and reduced likelihood of casing break-up.

BSU-50 (HDGP) High Drag General Purpose High Explosive Target: wide variety of targets, including artillery, trucks, bunkers, Scuds, surface-to-air missile sites, antiaircraft artillery sites, early warning radars, and supply points is a MK-84 2,000 pound bomb modified with a BSU-50/B high drag tail assembly. The "ballute" air bag which deploys from the tail provides a high speed, low altitude delivery capability by quickly slowing the bomb and allowing the aircraft to escape the blast pattern. The tail assembly consists of a low-drag canister unit containing a ballute (combination balloon and parachute), and a release lanyard assembly that opens the canister releasing the ballute. CBU-52 B/B Target: anti-personnel and soft skinned vehicles The CBU-52, loaded with 220 antimaterial, antipersonnel bomblets, weighs 785 pounds and can be used with a variety of proximity fuses or the mechanical MK-339 timed fuse. The submunition is a 3.5-inch spherical bomblet weighing 2.7 pounds with a 0.65-pound high-explosive warhead. CBU-58 A/B Target: soft skinned vehicles and anti-personnel The CBU-58 is loaded with 650 bomblets. These bomblets contain 5-gram titanium pellets, making them incendiary and useful against flammable targets. CBU-71 /B Target: used for area denial soft skinned vehicles and anti-personnel The CBU-71/B is very similar to the CBU-58, carrying 650 baseballsized bomblets. However, the CBU-71 submunitions have a random delay fuzing option making this cluster weapon great for area denial against soft- skinned targets (light or no armor).

CBU-87 CEM Target: armor, anti-personnel and material The CBU-87 is a 1,000-pound, Combined Effects Munitions (CEM) for attacking soft target areas with detonating bomblets. The BLU-97 is effective against armor, personnel and material, containing a shaped charge, scored steel casing and zirconium ring for anti-armor, fragmentation and incendiary capability. CBU-97 SWF Target: tanks and armored vehicles After release, a fuse causes the dispenser to disperse the 10 submunitions, each stabilized by a parachute. At a preset altitude a rocket fires, propelling the submunition in an upward vector. As the submunition climbs, it is spun to disperse the 4 internal skeet warheads randomly by centrifugal force. An IR sensor in each warhead searches for a target, and upon discovery detonates over it, firing a kinetic fragment. The fragment drives itself through the lightly armored top of the target. If no target is found, the sensor detonates the warhead above ground to spray the battlefield with a myriad of lethal fragments. GBU-10 Target: Mobile hard, fixed soft, fixed hard The GBU-10 consists of an MK-84 2,000 pound bomb with an added laser guidance package The operator illuminates the target with a laser designator, and the munition is then guided to the illuminated area reflected by the target Variants GBU 10 I The GBU-1O I mates a BLU-109B weapon with a Paveway II laser guidance kit. This improved 2,000-pound bomb is used against targets requiring deeper penetration.

GBU-12 Target: Mobile hard, fixed soft, fixed hard The GBU-12 consists of an MK-82 500 pound bomb with an added laser guidance package The operator illuminates a target with a laser designator and then the munition guides to a spot of laser energy reflected from the target. GBU-24 Target: Mobile hard, fixed soft, fixed hard The Guided Bomb Unit-24 (GBU-24) Low Level Laser Guided Bomb consists of either a 2,000- pound MK-84 or the BLU-109. The weapon is designed for low altitude delivery and with a capability for improved standoff ranges to reduce exposure. The GBU-24 LLLGB/Paveway III has low-level, standoff capability of more than 10 nautical miles. Performance envelopes for all modes of delivery are improved because the larger wings of the GBU-24 increases maneuverability. Paveway III also has increased seeker sensitivity and a larger field of regard.. GBU-31 (JDAM) Range: Greater than 5 nautical miles, up to 15 miles Guidance: GPS/INS (autonomous) Target: Mobile hard, mobile soft, fixed hard, fixed soft, maritime surface JDAM is not intended to replace any existing weapon system; rather, it is to provide accurate delivery of general purpose bombs in adverse weather conditions. The JDAM will upgrade the existing inventory of Mk-83 1,000- and Mk-84 2,000-pound general purpose unitary bombs and the 2,000-pound hard target penetrator bomb by integrating a guidance kit consisting of an inertial navigation system/global positioning system guidance kit. The 1,000-pound variant of JDAM is designated the GBU-31 JDAM Variants: GBU-31: 2,000lb Mk-84 warhead GBU-32: 1,000lb Mk-83 warhead GBU-34: 2,000lb BLU-109 warhead GBU-35: 1,000lb BLU-110 warhead
