Penguin a helicopter anti-ship missile

           The Penguin is a helicopter launched anti-ship missile developed for use on Lamps III helicopters and NATO allies.
The Penguin can be fired singly or in coordinated-arrival salvoes. Propelled by a solid rocket engine, it performs random weaving maneuvers at target approach and hits the target close to the waterline.
The Penguin missile has an indirect flight path to target. It is also operated in ""fire-and-forget"" mode to allow multiple target acquisition. The Penguin is fired from a launcher or a stage weighing around 1,100 pounds or 500 kilograms.
