Penguin Missile
The Rb 12 Penguin anti-ship missile (U.S. designation AGM-119), made by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). At 9 ft 8 in (2.96 m) long in its Penguin 2 version, this highly versatile Norwegian missile is one of the smaller Anti Shipping Missiles (AShM) in service today. The Penguin employs a passive IR terminal seeker and inertial midcourse guidance, with a number of pre-programmed modes available.
The Penguin 2 mod 7 (AGM-119B) is the helicopter–launched version with folding wings. This missile has been acquired by the US Navy and others for employment by SH-2 and SH-60B Seahawk helicopters. The Penguin 3 (AGM-119A) is a fixed-wing version equipping the F-16s of the Royal Norwegian Air Force.
