Description
The AGM-86C CALCM (Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missile) employs a GPS coupled with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) to achieve its mission. This navigation system allows the missile to guide itself with pinpoint accuracy. A single B-52H is able to carry and deliver up to 20 CALCMs. CALCMs are a modification of existing ALCMs instead of new production missiles. They have been procured under 3 batches known as Block 0, Block 1, and Block 1A and featuring different improvements, specially accuracy and warhead. The AGM-86C is provided with a conventional blast/fragmentation warhead. The US Air Force plans to convert further ALCMs to CALCM configuration.
