The U.S. Navy recently delivered final 300th Harpoon missile, marking a significant milestone in the Harpoon weapon system’s legacy.
The missile was delivered under the Lot 91 multi-year production agreement between the Navy and Boeing, primarily focused on fulfilling Foreign Military Sales (FMS) for several international allies. The missiles are the Harpoon Block II variant which incorporates GPS-assisted inertial navigation, enabling the system to have both an anti-ship and a land attack capability.
The achievement represents the coordinated work and collaboration of professionals within program management, engineering, logistics, and contracting disciplines, according to the Precision Strike Weapons (PMA-201) international program lead.
Since 1977, PMA-201 has delivered nearly 6,000 Harpoon missiles comprised of air launch, surface launch, submarine launch and exercise configurations to 30 FMS partners worldwide.
