Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range (AARGM-ER)
Northrop Grumman’s AARGM-ER is a supersonic, air-launched tactical missile system, the most advanced counter-air-defense system for today’s most modern surface-to-air threats.
AARGM-ER leverages existing AARGM components and adds a new high-performance air vehicle, propulsion system and advanced warhead to provide vital counter-air-defense capability for U.S Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and International Partners.
Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM)
AARGM is a supersonic, medium-range, air-launched tactical missile designed to engage and destroy enemy air defenses and time-critical, mobile targets.
An upgrade to the High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) (AGM-88) system, more than 1500 AARGM missiles have been delivered in total to the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, Italian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the German Luftwaffe.
Stand-In Attack Weapon (SiAW) Missile
The U.S. Air Force’s SiAW missile system enables disruption of an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment through rapid, lethal engagement of relocatable targets.
Northrop Grumman’s SiAW solution can be integrated on a variety of aircraft and leverages lessons learned on the Navy’s AARGM-ER and integration work on the F-35 aircraft.
To provide more rapid development and facilitate future upgrades, Northrop Grumman is using best practices for agile software development, digital engineering, and Weapon Open Systems Architecture (WOSA).
Next-Generation Strike Missile
Advanced Reactive Strike
Advanced Reactive Strike (AReS) is a next-generation surface-launched precision strike weapon for land and maritime targets. A deployable, extended range weapon system, AReS provides stand-off strike capability in high contested and denied environments. It can be employed beyond enemy integrated air defense systems and cruise missile range.
Building on AARGM-ER as the base missile design, AReS utilizes the AARGM-ER propulsion system coupled with a booster to achieve increased range and survivability. It can be discretely deployed utilizing container launch systems to support multi-mission requirements for point or area defense.
Defining Purpose
Keeping our warfighters safe is top-priority for Northrop Grumman. Engaging from a safe distance, long-range, high-speed strike keep aircrews safe while executing missions. Rapid threat engagement and time-sensitive target strikes takes place outside the range of adversary threats.
