Blast fragmentation warhead with time delay, allowing target penetration prior to warhead detonation. 105 lbs, displayed as K in cockpit.
AGM-114N
Hellfire II
Blast fragmentation warhead with metal augmented charge (MAC), a brief static pressure
Thermobaric effect
106 lbs, displayed as K in cockpit
AGM-114N-5
Software change to lower angle of attack at impact. LOAL-D/LOBL only.
Cage
Seeker is inhibited from slaving or tracking until gyro mass is spun up
Scan
The seeker is moved in a predetermined scan pattern (box scan) to help it acquire and
lock on to a laser spot. This mode is employed prior to launch for Lock On Before Launch (LOBL) remote
mode and after launch for Lock On After Launch (LOAL) mode.
Stare
The seeker is commanded to look straight ahead along the missile body axis. AGM-114B
missiles can acquire and lock on if laser energy is detected, AGM-114K, M, and N missiles cannot lock onto
laser energy in the stare mode. This mode is employed prior to launch for LOAL-DIR, LO or HI remote
modes.
Slave
Slave. The seeker is commanded to follow external line of sight (LOS) commands. It can
acquire and lock on if laser energy is detected. This mode is employed prior to launch for all autonomous
modes.
Track
The seeker is commanded by the seeker electronics assembly to maintain the reflected
laser energy centered on the detector/preamplifier assembly so that the optics assembly is pointed at the
target.
