AARGM

This document provides a summary of the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) program. It discusses that AARGM transforms the AGM-88 HARM missile from a single-role suppression of enemy air defenses weapon to a multi-mission destruction of enemy air defenses and time-critical strike missile. The document outlines the program history from 1996 to the present, including development testing and results. It provides an overview of the AARGM system capabilities and components. Test results demonstrate improvements over HARM, including defeating enemy radar shutdown tactics and preventing collateral damage.
