Draft:AGM-188

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AGM-188 is an Anti-Radiation Missile available to the AV-42C. Although having a shorter range than the AGM-88, it is unique from other Anti-Radiation Missiles due to its unique top-down attack angle in the terminal homing phase. This technique exploits the inability of many SAM fire control radars to target contacts straight above them, making for a highly aggressive and effective SEAD implement.

Usage[edit]

The AGM-188 is used through the ARAD page in an aircraft's MFCD. From here it is recommended to use the HUD option with their visor on the ARAD display to enable visualization of the enemy SAM radars. Once on the ARAD screen, use the SOI button to select the ARAD screen for thumb stick control. You can then use the thumb stick to slew the targeting reticle to the desired radar source and click once to lock it. From there, simply enter the firing arc and range of the locked target. The orange launch authorization lights will illuminate once you are within range and arc. After firing, you should be free to break for evasive maneuvers if needed.
