Overview
Overview
The missile is primarily intended as an air-launched coastal defence weapon. In fact, it is somewhat more capable than this, able to engage both sea and land targets such as buildings and bridges. The Type 80 also serves as the basis of several other weapons; it forms part of the ground-launched SSM-1 system and was also developed into the Type 88 SSM (surface-to-ship missile), the Type 90 ship-to-ship missile, and the Type 91 and Type 93 ASMs. The ASM-1 has been superseded (although not altogether replaced) by the ASM-3, which is currently in production. The ASM-1 is still in service with the JSDF in both ground and air-launched configurations.
