AGM-114 Hellfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (586 words) |
 | AGM-114 Hellfire (Helicopter launched fire-and-forget) is a U.S. air-to-ground missile system designed to defeat tanks and other individual targets while minimizing the exposure of the launch vehicle to enemy fire. |
| Hellfire uses laser guidance and is designed to accept other guidance packages. |
| Despite the expanded acronym, most versions of the Hellfire missile are not truly "fire-and-forget"—all the laser-guided versions require constant illumination or "painting" of the target from launch to impact. |
