Hellfire-R Integration

Abstract

Air-to-Ground Missile (AGM)-114P4/P4A/N4 missiles are part of an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the fielded AGM-114K, K2, K2A, P, P2, P2A, M and N missiles. Unlike earlier versions of the Hellfire missile, the P4 family of missiles can be launched from RW and FW platforms. The P4 family of missiles will significantly increase the inventory of missiles available for the KC-130J Harvest Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit (HAWK). Additionally, the AGM-114N4 will give the Harvest HAWK platform a thermobaric warhead capability, which it previously did not have. Research, Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding will support aircraft airworthiness certification through missile firings to verify the upgraded missile will comply with Safe Separation requirements for the AH-1Z and KC-130J.
