| HARPOON AGM-84A AIR-LAUNCHED ANTI-SHIP MISSILE
| |
| Here's a kit that was one of our most popular models since
1996! This is the air launched version of the Harpoon, used by the U.S. Navy, Air
Force, and Marine Corps. Although the surface-launched and submarine-launched
versions (both with booster stages) have been widely exported, no foreign sales have been
announced for the AGM-84A. It is a sea-skimmer, coming in low to avoid radar
detection, and at the last moment performs a sudden pop-up and dive onto the target
ship. This final maneuver is intended to defeat automatic rapid-fire defense
systems. Range is approximately 58 miles, powered by a small Teledyne turbojet
engines. Length of the actual missile is 12 ft., 7 in., and it weighs 1,160 lbs. at
launch. Five hundred lbs. of this weight is the high explosive warhead. Just take a look at the illustration at right to see the fine detailing possible with your Launch Pad Harpoon AGM-84A kit! This rocket stands almost 30 inches tall, and is now powered by your choice of either "D", "E", or "F" 24mm motor. As with all of our kits, it may be launched from any standard launcher equipped with a 3/16" diameter launch rod. This kit is a great introduction to Mid-Power rocketry! Try it! Length: 29.25" Motor: D12-3, AeroTech E15-4, RMS F24-4 (24mm) |  |
