The AGM-145 Ballista is an upgraded version of the AGM-65. It is exclusively available to the F-45A and uses an onboard optical guidance system instead of laser designation, and thus is fire-and-forget. It also has Lock On After Launch (LOAL) functionality, which allows it to be fired without line of sight to a target and maneuver over terrain automatically to reach it. This combination of features allows the F-45A to designate targets from afar and fire at them from behind cover, adding to its extensive repertoire of stealth combat capabilities.
