AGM-88F HCSM

The AGM-88F HARM Control Section Modification (HCSM) is a further development based upon the AGM-88E that features increased precision and reduced collateral damage. The HCSM adds GPS/IMU navigation accuracy giving HARM the ability to engage time-critical targets. Besides, its new features allow to engage a wide range of modern Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems, are resistant to counter-HARM tactics, and reduces the risk of fratricide or collateral damage. The US Air Force awarded Raytheon the HCSM missile development contract in 2012. The first test flight involving the new AGM-88F missile was carried out in August 2014. Deployment is expected in the 2015-2016 timeframe. The F variant is offered as an upgrade for older B models.
