==Variants== ===AGM-88E AARGM=== [[File:AGM-88E HARM p1230047.jpg|thumb|AGM-88E Advanced Antiradiation Guided Missile (AARGM)]] The AGM-88E Advanced Antiradiation Guided Missile (AARGM) has an updated guidance section and modified control section, along with the rocket motor and warhead section, wings, and fins from the AGM-88 HARM. It utilizes millimeter-wave radar for precise terminal guidance, countering the enemy's radar shut-down capability, and has the ability to transmit images of the target before impact. [[Northrop Grumman]] took control of the AARGM program after acquiring [[Orbital ATK]] in 2018. The AGM-88E is in use by the US Navy, US Marine Corps, Italian Air Force, and German Air Force. <ref name="aft">{{cite web |title=AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile |url=https://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/agm-88e-advanced-anti-radiation-guided-missile/ |website=Air Force Technology |access-date=18 February 2024 |date=8 September 2020}}</ref><ref name=bundeswehr2019 /> In June 2003, Orbital ATK was awarded a $223m contract to develop the AARGM. Subsequently, in November 2005, the [[Ministry of Defence (Italy)|Italian Ministry of Defense]] and the [[United States Department of Defense|US Department of Defense]] entered into a memorandum of agreement to jointly fund the project.<ref name=aft /> The U.S. Navy demonstrated the AARGM's capability during Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in spring 2012 with live firing of 12 missiles.

passive anti-radiation homing receiver, [[satellite navigation|satellite]] and [[inertial navigation system]], a [[millimeter-wave]] radar for terminal guidance, and the ability to beam up images of the target via a [[satellite link]] just seconds before impact.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/us-navy-extends-orbital-atk-agm-88e-production-423546/ |first=James

the first phase of development for the [[Stand-in Attack Weapon]] (SiAW). While previous HARMs were meant to attack air defense radars, the SiAW will have a broader target set including [[theater ballistic missile]] [[transporter-erector-launcher|launchers]], [[cruise missile|cruise]] and [[anti-ship missile]] launchers, [[Spoofing attack#Global navigation satellite system spoofing|GPS jamming]] platforms, and [[anti-satellite]] systems. It will have a shorter range than [[standoff weapon]]s, being fired by an aircraft after penetrating enemy airspace. The SiAW will fit inside the F-35's internal weapon bays. The Air Force plans to have an operational weapon by 2026.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Losey |first1=Stephen |title=US Air Force awards contracts to start designing F-35 weapon |url=https://www.defensenews.com/air/2022/06/08/us-air-force-awards-contracts-to-start-designing-f-35-weapon/ |access-date=20 August 2023 |work=[[Defense News]] |date=Jun 9, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Tirpak |first1=John A. |title=New SiAW Seen as Modular, Pathfinder Weapon |url=https://www.airandspaceforces.com/new-siaw-seen-as-modular-pathfinder-weapon/ |access-date=20 August 2023 |magazine=[[Air & Space Forces Magazine]] |date=June 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230712172601/https://www.airandspaceforces.com/new-siaw-seen-as-modular-pathfinder-weapon/ |archive-date=2023-07-12}}</ref> Northrop Grumman was chosen to continue development of the SiAW in September 2023, and it will be derived from the AARGM-ER.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Losey |first1=Stephen |title=Northrop wins $705 million contract for F-35 air-to-ground weapon |url=https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/09/26/northrop-wins-705-million-contract-for-f-35-air-to-ground-weapon/ |work=[[Defense News]] |date=Sep 27, 2023}}</ref> Lockheed Martin's offering for the program was the hypersonic [[Mako (missile)|Mako]] missile.<ref>{{cite news |title=A Hypersonic Missile That’s More Than Ready |url=https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/2024/mako-a-hypersonic-missile-thats-more-than-ready.html/ |work=[[Lockheed Martin]] |date=Jul 22, 2024}}</ref>
