- Not necessary. If we were a bit smarter we'd support the ALARM missile from
- England. It has a variety of modes and is about the same size as the HARM.
- It has home on coordinates mode, locking the position into its guidance
- system. One mode is a boost to high altitude and then slow decent with a small
- parachute. Firing into a radar if it powers up. Plus the normal home on jam
- and emiter modes. Seems like a good system.

- Of course American firms will complain about buying foreign arms. And it would
- probably have to be assembled here. Just like we pulled out of the ASRAAM
- program to inprove the Sidewinder.
