UK Storm Shadow
Air-Launched Cruise Missle

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow

The Storm Shadow is a Franco-British Low-Observable, Long-Range Air-Launched CRUISE MISSILE Developed since 1994 by Matra and BRITISH Aerospace, and NOW manufactured by MBDA. "STORM SHADOW" is the Weapon's BRITISH name; in FRANCE it is called SCALP-EG (which stands for "Systรจme de Croisiรจre Autonome ร  Longue Portรฉe โ€“ Emploi Gรฉnรฉral"; English: "Long Range Autonomous Cruise Missile System โ€“ General Purpose". The MISSILE is Based on the French-developed APACHE Anti-Runway CRUISE MISSILE, But Differs in that it Carries a Unitary WARHEAD instead of Cluster Munitions.

CHARACTERISTICS
A Microturbo TRI 60-30 Expendable Turbojet Engine used by the STORM SHADOW, Musรฉe aรฉronautique et spatial Safran The MISSILE weighs about 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb), with a Conventional WARHEAD of 450 kilograms (990 lb). It has a maximum body diameter of 48 centimetres (19 in) and a wingspan of three metres (120 in). It is propelled at Mach 0.8 by a Microturbo TRI 60-30 turbojet engine and has a Range of approximately 250 km (130 nmi; 160 mi).

The Weapon can be Launched from a Number of Different Aircraftโ€”the Saab Gripen, Dassault Mirage 2000, Dassault Rafale, the Panavia Tornado, both the Italian Tornado IDS and formerly the BRITISH Tornado GR4 (now retired), and a modified Sukhoi Su-24. STORM SHADOW was integrated with the Eurofighter Typhoon as part of the Phase 2 Enhancement (P2E) in 2015, but will not be fitted to the F-35 Lightning II.

The STORM SHADOW'S BROACH-Warhead features an Initial Penetrating Charge to Clear Soil or Enter a BUNKER, then a Variable Delay Duze to Control DETONATION of the Main WARHEAD. Intended TARGETS are Command, Control and Communications Centres; Airfields; Ports and Power Stations; Ammunition Management and Storage Facilities; Surface Ships and Submarines in Port; Bridges and other High Value Strategic Targets.

The MISSILE is FIRE and FORGET, Programmed before Launch. Once Launched, it CANNOT be CONTROLLED or Commanded to Self-Destroy and its TARGET Information CANNOT be CHANGED. Mission Planners Programme the WEAPON with DETAILS of the TARGET and Its Air Defences. The MISSILE follows a Path Semi-Autonomously, on a Low Flight Path guided by GPS and Terrain Mapping to the TARGET Area. Close to the TARGET, the MISSILE Climbs to Increase Its Field of View and Improve Penetration, Matches the TARGET Stored Image with its IR Camera and Then DIVES into the TARGET.

Climbing to Altitude is Intended to Achieve the BEST Probability of TARGET Identification and Penetration. During the Final Maneuver, the Nose Cone is JETTISONED to Allow a HIGH Resolution Thermographic Camera (infrared homing) to Observe the TARGET Area. The MISSILE then tries to Locate Its TARGET based upon its Targeting Information (DSMAC). If it CANNOT, and there is a HIGH RISK of COLLATERAL DAMAGE, the MISSILE is Capable of Flying to a crash point instead of risking inaccuracy.

The MISSILE Relies on CLASSIFIED AMERICAN-Owned Cartographic DATA, using Terrain Contour Matching or TERCOM, to Guide the MISSILE to the TARGET. This gives the AMERICAN Government VETO of ANY Sales to FOREIGN Countries under ITAR. In 2018 the FRENCH Government tried to Bypass this by Creating a โ€œITAR-freeโ€ Version of the MISSILE for Sale to EGYPT that didnโ€™t use TERCOM. The MISSILES would have relied Solely on GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems to get to the TARGET. Making the MISSILE more Vulnerable to Electronic Warfare. An issue in UKRAINE, where RUSSIAN Jams GPS Signals, is that US Approval and DATA is NECESSARY for the MISSILES to OPERATE to PEAK PERFORMANCE.
