* Notes: The two wingtips missile launcher rail for AIM-9 Sidewinder, found on the E / F Super Hornet, have been replaced with AN / ALQ-218 detection pods, six removable under wing mounted hard points ( inboard pylons will carry 480 gal fuel tanks, mid-board pylons will carry AN / ALQ-99 High Band Jamming Pods, and outboard pylon reserved for AGM-88 HARM missiles ), two multi-mode conformal fuselage stations ( AIM-120 AMRAAM ), 1 centerline fuselage removable hardpoint, for AN / ALQ-99 Low Band Jamming Pod.

** Weapons employment: Currently, Phase I of the Growler will carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM for self-protection at the two conformal fuselage stations and AGM-88 HARM missiles.

Thiokol produces powerplants for numerous U. S. military missile systems, including AIM-9 Sidewinder, AGM-88 HARM, AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-69 SRAM, and AIR-2 Genie.

* Magnum, a NATO brevity code for an AGM-88 or anti-radiation missile launch

Production stopped in the late 1970s, but the missile continued in service for almost a decade before the last examples were replaced by the AGM-88 HARM in the late 1980s.

The HARM missile was approved for full production in March 1983, and then deployed in late 1985 with VA-72 and VA-46 aboard the aircraft carrier USS America.

HARM was used extensively by the United States Navy and the United States Air Force for Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War of 1991.

During the Gulf War, the HARM was involved in a friendly fire incident when the pilot of an F-4G Wild Weasel escorting a B-52 bomber mistook the latter's tail gun radar for an Iraqi AAA site.

* HARM Targeting System, a weapon pod for the F-16 aircraft

SEAD and ELINT aircraft often have sensitive and sophisticated RWR equipment like the U. S. HTS ( HARM targeting system ) pod which is able to find and classify threats which are much further away than those detected by a typical RWR, and may be able to overlay threat circles on a map in the aircraft's multi-function display ( MFD ), providing much better information for avoiding or engaging threats, and may even store information to be analyzed later or transmitted to the ground to help the commanders plan future missions.

In aircraft carriers, the magazines are required to store not only the aircraft carrier's own defensive weapons, but all of the weapons for her warplanes, including rapid-fire gun ammunition, air-to-air missiles such as the Sidewinder missile, air-to-surface missiles such as the Maverick missile, Mk 46 ASW torpedoes, Joint Direct Attack Munitions, " dumb bombs ", HARM missiles, and antiship missiles such as the Harpoon missile and the Exocet missile.

The AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile ( HARM ) is a tactical, air-to-surface missile designed to home in on electronic transmissions coming from surface-to-air radar systems.

These aircraft, equipped with the LANTIRN navigation and targeting pod as well as AIM-120 AMRAAM and AGM-88 HARM missiles, were allocated to the 341 " Aces " and 347 " Perseus " squadrons in Nea Anchialos airforce base.

The weapons most often associated with this mission are anti-radiation missiles ( ARMs ) such as the American AGM-88 HARM and British ALARM.

The RAF Tornados rely on the aforementioned ALARM missile and the Italian / German Tornado ECRs employ the AGM-88 HARM missile.
