AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles (AARGM) produced by Northrop Grumman are launched from Italian Air Force Panavia Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance). The Tornado ECR and AARGM combination provides the lethal capability to detect, locate, and permanently destroy modern air defense systems gaining assured access for strike forces. AARGM utilizes a multi-mode seeker for hard-kill lethality against known and projected threats, regardless of enemy countermeasures and tactics.
