The AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AGM-88E AARGM) program fields a major system upgrade to the AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) inventory. The AGM-88E AARGM provides a significant enhancement to Naval operational capability in the Offensive Counter Air/Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) mission area by technological upgrade to the HARM guidance system to counter enemy use of simple and cheap countermeasures and tactics such as mobility and radar shutdown. The AGM-88E AARGM is employed in the Offensive Counter Air/SEAD role in direct support of all mission areas within the objective force (e.g., Strike Warfare, Amphibious Warfare, Anti-Surface Ship Warfare, and Command and Control Warfare and Information Warfare) providing a rapid, organic response to air defense threats ranging from Smaller Scale Contingencies to Major Theater War. It will be employed by Naval aircraft operating from both sea and land bases. The AGM-88E AARGM missile provides a new multi-mode guidance section and modified control section mated with existing HARM propulsion and warhead sections. The new guidance section has a passive Anti-Radiation Homing receiver and associated antennae, a Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System, and Millimeter Wave radar for terminal guidance capability. The AGM-88E AARGM also has the capability to transmit terminal (end game) data via a Weapon Impact Assessment transmitter to national satellites just before AGM-88E AARGM impacts its target. Additionally, a provision to receive off-board targeting information, via the Integrated Broadcast System, is incorporated in the weapon system. The AGM-88E AARGM is the acquisition upgrade and complement to HARM, the Navy's only Defense Suppression missile.
