    20th Fighter Wing

    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cody Ratchford, 79th Fighter Generation Squadron weapons technician, lines up an AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missile (HARM) to be loaded onto an F-16D Fighting Falcon during the 20th Fighter Wing Annual Load Crew Competition at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Jan. 17, 2025. The AGM-88 HARM has supersonic capabilities and is primarily used as an air-to-surface missile, with a guidance system that locks onto enemy radar emissions through a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile nose.
