Penguin Missile
The AGM-119B is a fire and forget, antisurface ship, all-up-round (AUR) missile. The missile uses inertial guidance and infrared (IR) homing. The AGM-119B is intended to be launched from the SH-60B LAMPS helicopter. It is the first helicopterlaunched, air-surface, antiship missile system in the U.S. Navy inventory. The missile launch assembly (MLA) contains the missile control system (MCS) and attaches to the wing pylon of the SH-60B LAMPS Mk III helicopter. It provides mechanical attachment points for the missile launch/release system (BRU-14 rack with two AERO-1A adapters, which provide a 30-inch suspension capability). The MLA, with BRU-14 attached, carries and launches the Penguin missile on command. |
