It can be fired from helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft. It borrows heavily from the US Bullpup, including the simple radio command with joystick control in the cockpit. Though the missile was shown as early as 1979, none were used in the 1982 Falklands War, and the missile has not been seen much. Acquisition may have been slowed or stopped by budgetary problems.

It was first used in combat in the 1991 Gulf War and proved very effective in the Gulf War and the Twilight War. The missile has a loiter capability; if it loses its target, the missile will climb to 12,000 meters, deploy a parachute, and slowly descend over the last known location of the target, waiting for more radar emissions. It can also home in on the last known location of its target, achieving a hit that way.

  • House of Commons Select Committee on Defence the Navy's Purpose and Procurement Over the Next 20 Years Comments and Suggestion
    House of Commons Select Committee on Defence The Navy’s purpose and procurement over the next 20 years Comments and suggestions from Chris Cope, Political Correspondent from 1992 to the magazine Warship World Dated 25th May 2021 1 House of Commons Select Committee on Defence The Navy’s purpose of procurement over the next 20 years Summary of comments and suggestions from Chris Cope The threat The threat exists today and can only deteriorate during the next ten years. Action needs to be taken now and not in the 2030s. Little if any thought has been given as to the impact of Scottish independence. If a Scottish government took over Faslane and ordered out all the Navy’s submarines, they would have nowhere else to go. With regard to constructing the Type 26, 31 and 32 frigates, there are no comparable facilities in England and Wales for building these ships. Carrier Strike Group It is a matter of concern that the Navy will be losing (until early December 2021) two of the four operational Type 45 destroyers and two of the six operational Type 23 frigates. Prince of Wales It is by no means clear what the government plans as the role for the second carrier. The First Sea Lord envisaged that, in due course, two squadrons of F-35Bs would be operating from both carriers. Is this now government policy and if so, when will this take place? Annual running costs In 2017, the MoD estimated that these would be costing the budget £178m per annum per ship. If now both carriers are to be operated simultaneously, this will place an additional burden on the defence budget.
