Original SLAM It is now difficult to see any visual similarities between the SLAM ER and the Harpoon. However, the original SLAM very closely resembled the Harpoon because it shared most of its components with the Harpoon, despite being somewhat longer. This helped reduce development costs and allowed the system to be developed within weeks. The original SLAM was developed at extremely short notice during the Gulf War to meet emergency requirements. It was notable for requiring two aircraft to employ it, ie one to launch the missile and another to provide the data link. The longer length of the original SLAM compared to Harpoon meant that it flew in a slightly nose up attitude whilst approaching the target. A number of SLAMs were successfully fired at Iraq i coastal targets during the Gulf War. Current SLAM In its current incarnation, the SLAM ER expanded response , it is capable of attacking land and sea targets automatically, at long range 150 miles, 240 km , and can also be controlled remotely from the air. It relies on military grade Global Positioning System GPS and infrared imaging for navigation. It can strike both moving and stationary targets.

Background After the ground offensive, General Schwarzkopf of the coalition forces wanted a spot deep in Iraq to discuss the capitulation terms. He chose Safwan Airfield in southern Iraq to hold a formal cease fire ceremony, as a demonstration that the coalition was in control of the war. The airfield had been supposedly seized by VII Corps some hours earlier. However Safwan had not been taken by US troops as he had assumed. This caused General Schwarzkopf to become enraged at General Frederick M. Franks, Jr. , and ordered him to take the town immediately, as he was determined to use it for the incoming talks as scheduled. On the morning of March 1, 1991, M1A1 Abrams and M2A2 Bradley s from VII corps arrived at Safwan Airfield to find a group of Iraqi T 72 s defending the base and the adjoining village. VII Corps gave them the option of fighting and being destroyed or vacating the place. The entire Iraqi garrison left the site at dusk, and the coalition forces quickly moved in. The standoff Before the truce, the 1st Infantry Division had received orders to secure the road junction at Safwan. However, because of a miscommunication and a false report of friendly artillery fire, the 1st Infantry Division fell short of its target by ten miles. As result, LTC Wilson, the 1 4 Cavalry commander, scrambled his troops with orders to secure Safwan by 1600 of March 1. ...   more details
