 AGM-88 HARM**Mission**
The AGM-88 HARM or high-speed anti-radiation missile, is an air-to-surface tactical missile designed to seek and destroy enemy radar-equipped air defense systems.**Features**
The AGM-88 can detect, attack and destroy a target with minimum aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that hones 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 F-16C is the only aircraft in the Air Force current inventory to use the AGM-88.**Background**
The Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council approved the AGM-88 missile for full production in March 1983.
The Air Force equipped the F-4G Wild Weasel with the AGM-88 to increase the F-4G's lethality in electronic combat. The missile worked with the APR-47 radar attack and warning system on the aircraft.
The missile is operationally deployed throughout the Air Force and in full production as a joint U.S. Air Force-U.S. Navy project.**General Characteristics****Primary Function:** Air-to-surface anti-radiation missile**Contractor:** Raytheon Co.**Power Plant:** Thiokol dual-thrust rocket motor**Thrust:** Dual thrust**Length:** 13 feet, 8 inches (4.14 meters)**Launch Weight:** 800 pounds (360 kilograms)**Diameter:** 10 inches (25.40 centimeters)**Wingspan:** 3 feet, 8 inches (101.60 centimeters)**Range:** 30 plus miles (48 plus kilometers)**Speed:** Supersonic**Aircraft:** Used aboard the F-16C**Guidance System:** Proportional**Warheads:** High explosive**Unit Cost:** $200,000**Date Deployed:** 1984
