Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Penguin anti-ship missile (U.S. designation AGM-119), made by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) of Norway from the early 1970s and continually upgraded since, is a passive-IR seeker based short-to-medium range naval guided missile. It was the first AShM of the western world with an IR seeker (instead of the commonly used active radar technology). The Penguin can be fired singly or in coordinated-arrival salvoes. Propelled by a solid rocket engine, it performs random weaving maneuvres at target approach and hits the target close to the waterline. Of the western inventory of such missiles, it is the only variant that performs a terminal bunt and weave manoeuvre. The modified 120 kg warhead detonates inside the target ship by using a delay fuze.
