Interestingly, the HarpoonSLAM missile was used in combat without even having been operationally tested, although the results were more than satisfactory.The operational range of Harpoon SLAM was slightly reduced compared to the anti-ship variant. However, its destructive power went from 221 to 450 kg in the new warhead.The missile uses an inertial guidance system along with the GPS during the flight, but in the last stage, it activates the infrared homing terminal guidance to hit the target.
