Description

The Raytheon Griffin C-ER is a derivate of the Griffin C multi-platform weapon outfitted with a new extended range motor that nearly triples its flight distance. The Griffin C was designed to counter the increasing threat posed by fast-attack boats in littoral waters following the US Navy requirements. The missile features a dual-mode Semi-Active Laser (SAL) and Imaging Infrared (IIR) seekers, datalink for in-flight target updates, vertical launch and vectoring thrust control and waypoint navigation. The IIR sensor captures and transmits streaming video using the Griffin C-ER's built-in datalink to allow the operators target verification and discrimination before the missile strikes a small boat target. Raytheon carried out the first test flight of the Griffin C-ER in early 2014. The US Navy may deploy this new weapon as the Littoral Combat Ship's (LCS) Surface-to-Surface Missile Module.
