AGM-84 Harpoon Cruise Missile

368 MagellanIndustries  3.6 years ago

"The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile, developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security). The Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM) is a land-attack variant.

The regular Harpoon uses active radar homing and flies just above the water to evade defenses. The missile can be launched from:

  • Fixed-wing aircraft (the AGM-84, without the solid-fuel rocket booster)
  • Surface ships (the RGM-84, fitted with a solid-fuel rocket booster that detaches when expended, to allow the missile's main turbojet to maintain flight)
  • Submarines (the UGM-84, fitted with a solid-fuel rocket booster and encapsulated in a container to enable submerged launch through a torpedo tube)
  • Coastal defense batteries, from which it would be fired with a solid-fuel rocket booster."

The AGM-84 Harpoon is currently fitted inside a MK 141 Canister Launcher.
The Harpoon has a maximum speed of 537 MPH or 864 KM/H. It can travel 12 kilometers at max speed and cruises 200 to 350 feet above sea level.

To launch, select the weapon and lock your target. Only press the fire button when the Harpoon is locked (steady tone). For testing purposes, only one Harpoon can be fitted per vehicle. If you use more than one both tubes will fire, but only one will ignite, leading to an explosion in the second tube.

This is a prototype and will be reworked when newer parts are imported. The missile has mostly realistic stats and size, but definite realism will not be achieved.
