Air to Air Ordnance 

 
 
 
 
 
AIM-120 AMRAAM Slammer  
Range: 

25~30 miles under optimal conditions 

(from a high altitude launch against a high-speed non-
maneuvering 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.

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]

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-to-
surface 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 ground-
based 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 
Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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  

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

Target:

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  

Range:

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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

 

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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

 

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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

 

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

Target: 

used for area denial soft skinned vehicles and anti-personnel

 

 

The CBU-71/B is very similar to the CBU-58, carrying 650 baseball-
sized 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

 

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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

 

Range: 

freefall 

Guidance: 

ballistic

 

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 battle field with a myriad of lethal fragments.
