The AGM-126 is a lightweight, short-range Anti-Radiation Missile. It is designed to work in conjunction with a fighter's ARAD systems to home in on a radar-emitting target with pinpoint accuracy. It is notable for being lightweight, fast, and very maneuverable, much like the AIM-9 Sidewinder, allowing it to quickly maneuver to targets and hit them before they can respond. Any ship can hold up to three AGM-126s on a single rack, allowing them to be equipped in bulk for a rudimentary SEAD loadout. Unlike its counterparts, the AGM-126 has a very wide lock-on arc, and can engage further off-bore than any other Anti-Radiation missile, making it useful for striking secondary targets while flying over an enemy radar emplacement.
