Block II (RGM/UGM-84J/L)
The Blk II combines the inertial measuring unit and software from the Joint Direct Attack Munition and the SLAM-ER’s integrated inertial/GPS guidance.These improvements to the missile’s guidance technology allow it to perform in littoral waters.
Additionally, the guidance system allows for over-the-horizon targeting via helicopter, enabling targeting of concealed or cluttered targets beyond the radar’s line of sight. The missile carries a 224 kg warhead, and has a circular error probable of 10-13 m.
