Hellfire Longbow Missile (AGM-114L)

The Hellfire Longbow Missile (AGM-114L) is a combat-proven tactical missile system
launched from multiple launch platforms (air, sea and land). It was specifically selected
as a short-range, anti-surface warfare (ASuW) missile to be placed on Littoral Combat
Ships (LCS) in order to counter the threat of small boat swarm attacks.

With inertial guidance, coupled with a Millimeter-Wave (MMW) active radar seeker, it is a
fire-and-forget weapon.
