is a missile designed to be launched from
military aircrafts( bombers, attack aircraft ,
fighter aircraft or other kinds) and strike
ground targets on land, at sea, or both.

‡The two most common propulsion systems

for air-to-surface missiles are rocket motors
and jet engines.

= air-launched anti tank guided missiles(typically

launched from helicopters)

= air-launched cruise missiles

= air-launched anti ship missiles

= anti radiation missiles

= The higher and faster the launching aircraft is
flying, the further away the missile's target can
be. For long range missiles this difference can
be small, but short range missiles (like the
AGM-65 Maverick) often dramatically increase
in range when launched at altitude.

= Air to surface missiles are similar to guided glide
bombs but to be considered a missile.

= Guidance for air-to-surface missiles is typically via

laser guidance
Infrared guidance
Optical guidance
GPS signals.

= The type of guidance depends on the type of target.

AGM-12 Bullpup
- The AGM-12 Bullpup is an air-to-ground missile
which was used on the A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder
and F-4 Phantom among others.
- The Bullpup was roll-stabilized and visually guided
by the pilot or weapons operator using a flare on
the back of the missile to track the weapon in flight
while using a control joystick to steer it toward the
target using radio signals.

= AGM-28 Hound Dog was a supersonic, jet
powered, air-launched cruise missile.
= The J52 engine was located in a pod
located beneath the rear fuselage.
= The thermonuclear warhead carried by the
Hound Dog was the W28 Class D.
= The Hound Dog already had a low frontal
radar cross section because of its highly
swept delta wing and canards.
w 
= Three Hound Dog flight profiles were initially available for use by
the bomber crew

= High Altitude Attack: The Hound Dog flew at high altitude (up to
56,000 ft (17069 m) depending on the amount of fuel on board the
missile) all the way to the target, then dived down to the warhead's
programmed detonation altitude.

= Low Altitude Attack: The Hound Dog flew at a low altitude below
5,000 ft (1524 m) (pressure altitude) to the target where the
warhead then detonated. The missile had a reduced range of about
400 miles (644 km) when this flight profile was used. The missile
did not perform terrain following in this flight profile. No major terrain
obstructions could exist at the preset altitude along the missiles
flight path.

= Dog Leg Attack: The Hound Dog flew a designated heading (in the
high or low altitude profile) to a specific location. At that location the
missile would turn and then travel to the target. The intent of this
maneuver was to draw defensive fighter aircraft away from the
missile's target.

American AGM-119 Mk 2 anti-ship missile.

specifically for targets with displacement
between 1,000 tons to 4,000 tons.

enemy installations (such as radar posts,
command nodes and stationary surface to
air missile launchers) at stand-off range,
keeping the launching aircraft away from
enemy air defence systems.

stealth capability, provided by the shape of
the airframe and the materials used in its
construction.

warheads.

Mirage III ÊOSÕ combat aircraft during
testing, the missile is planned to be
integrated with and launched from other
PAF platforms such as the JF-17 combat
aircraft.

= One of the major advantages of air-to-surface
missiles over other weapons available for aircraft
to use to attack ground targets is the standoff
distance they provide.

= Most air-to-surface missiles are fire and forget

in order to take most advantage of the standoff
distance .
