Two main launch modes:
- Revisionary: flies straight a set distance, pops up and goes
for the first target it sees,
- Normal: You can tell it to fly a dogleg course, then scan
an area (or sector) and go for the leftmost, fourth closest
or whatever target it sees.

Mechanical gyros replaced by GPS and intertial measurment unit.
The Quick Bolt concept involves downlink of satellite data
to the missile before launch and uplink of missile seeker data
via satellite close to impact to judge effectiveness. (First proposed
as a collaborateive project to Italy in 2000.)
AARGM, advanced anti-radiation guided missile, seeker under
development (2000), will in addition have conformal W-band MMW
seeker. Might also be adapted to a Hellfire variant which could
replace AGM-122 Sidearm.

Acquision ability using an IIR seeker. GPS navigation until it
can find the exact positino of the target by itself and then it goes
for the aimpoint selected before launch from the direction and dive angle
given to it. Captive seeker trials started in 2001.
Glide range is up to 60 km from high altitude.

Controls are electric powered by a thermal battery (pneumatic on Hellfire), new boost-coast
motor (supersonic in <3s), INS and mid course guidance update capability.
Suitable for fast jets, can be fired down to very low levels.
Several firing modes: target types to attack, where to get targetting data
from, which pattern a salvo of missiles will fly in.
