OVERVIEW: The AGM-130A  is a rocket powered, command- and EO guided,  air-to-surface missile with a 429 kg warhead.


DETAILS: The AGM-130A is a powered air-to-surface missile designed for high- and low-altitude strikes at standoff ranges against highly
defended hard targets. The weapon uses the same TV or IIR seeker and  command datalink used in the GBU-15 glide bomb. This provides the launch aircraft a visual presentation of the target as seen from the weapon. 

The seeker can be either locked onto the target before or after launch for automatic weapon guidance, or it can be manually steered by a weapon systems officer. Manual steering is performed through the two-way data link.

The AGM-130 is designed for use in the F-4, F-15, F-111, A-10 and possibly F-16 aircraft.
