The AGM-88 HARM or high-speed anti-radiation missile, is an air-to-surface tactical missile designed to seek and destroy enemy radar-equipped air defense systems. Lockheed Martin's PAC-3 Missile successfully detected, tracked and intercepted a tactical ballistic missile (TBM) in a Lower Tier Project Office flight test. The company makes significant contributions to all major U.S. Tactical Missiles are generally aerodynamically controlled. Raytheon is working closely with the Navy to ensure that SM-3, based on legacy Standard tactical missile designs, stands ready to provide immediate emergency Aegis BMD capability against preponderant threats. The AGM-65 Maverick is an air-to-surface (or air-to-ground) guided tactical missile designed for close air support, interdiction, and defense suppression. The National Research Council report highlighted the fundamental importance of discrimination, noting that defenses will eventually need to confront " decoys and other penetration aids and tactics … that adversaries will have deliberately designed to frustrate U.S. HIMARS can accommodate the entire family of MLRS munitions, including all variants of the Guided MLRS rocket and Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles. By contrast, the Giant is designed to destroy tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, although it can also shoot down aircraft. Why the United States should be realistic about what missile defense can and can't do. 1-The AGM-65 Maverick is an air-to-ground tactical missile (AGM) designed for close air support. It also has considerable experience in missile design and production, infrared seekers, command and control/battle management, and communications, precision pointing and tracking optics, as well as radar and signal processing.

"Our CAC2S variants for the Direct Air Support Center and the Tactical Air Operations Center are designed to be set up and fully configured in 40 minutes or less. This missile is a counter weapon to the Pakistani Nasr (Haft IX) missile which is a nuclear capable tactical battlefield missile designed to counter India's cold start doctrine.
