An airborne missile launch system. The system includes a Harpoon aircraft
command-launch control set (HACLCS) system, one or more Harpoon Block II
missiles, and an interface controller coupled to the HACLCS system and the
one or more Harpoon Block II missiles. The controller allows a user to
create a missile profile mission. The controller combines the created
missile profile mission with received positioning information. The
missile(s) loads the combination into a navigation system of one of the
Harpoon Block II missiles. The controller receives a mission-loaded signal
upon completion of mission loading into one of the Harpoon Block II
missiles, and converts the mission-loaded signal for interpretation by the
HACLCS system.
