The AGM-130 is a powered air-to-surface missile designed for strikes at long range against various targets.

In 1991 the development of some significant upgrades began; these included a new CCD seeker and a GPS/INS (GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System) mid-course guidance.

The AGM-130 is highly accurate, and is intended for use against high-value targets which are either slow moving or of fixed location.

It consists of a CCD TV or focal plane array imaging infrared seeker head, a radar altimeter, wings, strakes, a Mark 84 or BLU-109 warhead, a control section, and a rocket motor and data link unit.

The upgraded AGM-130 Mid-Course Guidance (MCG) weapon, employs an improved global positioning and inertial navigation system.

The smaller, less powerful warhead used on this weapon allows better control over collateral damage.
