AGM-175A Griffin A (SOPGM)

[@RMS148]

Instead of one rear door for parachutist, future USAF MC-130's and USMC KC-130's will have in that place a rack to lauch the AGM-175 Griffin downwards.

This aged perfectly my guy 👍👍

[@biukucanoe]

just toss the thing out the back ramp? What an advanced launch system to turn the C-130 in to a smart bomber

[@tommyzDad]

So this would be, what? Modifcation 1,396,201 for the venerable C-130?

[@laotiangangster]

holy

[@Upuauta]

wow - I´m waiting for the first misfire when this missile starts right after release and then greeting the pilot in the cockpit after it flew through the whole plane....

[@PosthumousAddress]

Erm... the Griffin A is gravity powered. There is no rocket motor on it. You simply drop it off the back of the plane

[@lloydsumner6250]

or launch tube l/h side c130 cargo deck

[@raymondwilson1489]

AGM-176 I believe, not 175.

[@therichardking4242]

No it's 1,396,202 please keep up

[@ml219]

rear dropped, rocket propelled.. cool. kinda seems like no big deal, like its supposed to be obvious that you should be able to do this with almost all precision munitions

[@dartmaster501]

Griffin As are unpowered. Also, it is the AGM-176A.

[@airsoftarmyof2]

hey you can teach an old dog new tricks

[@tommyzDad]

I did miss a meeting or two. Sorry.

[@billypilgrim3795]

yeah they are even proposing pilotless missiles that launch guided munitions on demand as they loiter for even days up high also providing data. In the end , if need be, the "missile " itself that was launching other munitions as needed , also has a warhead & it too can end its life hitting a target with its own warhead. No human pilot is even in danger.
