Description

The Raytheon Griffin C, formerly SeaGriffin, is a derivate of the Griffin multi-platform weapon based upon the Griffin B Block II variant deployed by the US Navy Patrol Coastal vessels. The Griffin C has been designed to counter the increasing threat posed by fast-attack boats in littoral waters following the US Navy requirements. The missile features an extended range motor that nearly triples its range, 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'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 flights of the SeaGriffin/Griffin C in late 2013 and early 2014. The US Navy may deploy this new weapon as the Littoral Combat Ship's (LCS) Surface-to-Surface Missile Module.
