Military Weapons The World Didn’t Think Were Possible
AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER
In this photo, an AFM-84K SLAM-ER is loaded onto the wing of a P-8A Poseidon in preparation for Fleet Challenge 2014 at Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida. SLAM-ER is an acronym for Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response.
These cruise missiles get launched from the air, receiving guidance from GPS and infrared imaging to strike stationary or moving targets. Controlled in-flight, the payload can be redirected to a different target after launch. This makes the AGM-84 K SLAM-ER so precise that multiple branches of the U.S. military and their allies use them.
