AGM Stands for Air to Ground Missile
Credit goes to Triton Aerospace for allowing the use and modification of his guidance computer, as well to Alpha Space Technologies for developing the missile itself.
Rangeband: 3 - 360km (hence the numeric designation)
Launch height: 1km- 10km (try not to launch too high at close range. Also, do not launch under 1000m in altitude.)
Launch speed: Mach 0.8 - 3
Blast radius (lethal): up to 8m
Blast radius (moderate damage): 10-15m
Can hit moving ground targets!
This weapon is compatible with all Alpha Space Technology developed aircraft with 1st gen Fire Control System. Just select a target on the jet, and deploy ordinance via Activation group powered Fire Control System on board said jet (FCS instructions sold on separate aircraft). The AGM-360 will automatically fly towards to target and detonate upon impact, if within physics range.
The AGM-360 is the first fully functional Air to Ground Missile from AST. Weighing in at nearly 150kg, and nearly 4 meters long, it is a rather large missile. However, it is equipped with a jet engine, allowing it to hit ground targets from incredible ranges. It can reach a top speed of about 870 m/s, quite fast for a ground missile, and it is capable of hitting moving targets as fast as 30 m/s in tests. Even so, it is incapable of hitting large or well armored targets, given its relatively small warhead and should only be used against small, low part count targets on the ground. Despite its shortcomings, it is still a well rounded, simple and effective fire and forget missile that will send your enemies reeling.

@BeaconIndustries I can definitely make an air to air missiles, the only issue is im not that good at it. If youd like, we can talk more on discord. You can find me in the Juno Community Server on discord

NORLAND STATE AIR FORCE:
We propose a contract tò your Company as we in Need of an A-A missile for our interceptor.
CONTRACT:
Build a guided air to air missile capable of exceeding mach 2.5 and destroying enemy target at a range of 50-70km.
Payment of 350milion cash so you can develop more weapons. Accept? -
@JAIHIND Target detection is done by the launching craft, the jet fighter, as it is done in real life via what is called a "Fire Control System". So you get a compatible aircraft (you can find the F-4 jets in my profile), attach it like So, and pick a target on the map. When you go to launch the missile, it will be released via that fire control system found on the jet, and the jet will hand the target id to the missile so it can track the target and fly completely on its own! Make sure to increase physics range to at least 600km.
So target detection is not automatic, it is manual. But missile guidance and flying to target IS automatic

@JAIHIND If you mean fly by wire, as in does the missile guide itself and fly on its own without input, yes, it does.
The jet in the pictures posted above is the F-5B Hyper Strike Sabre, a variant of the F-5 Hyper Sabre that will be released soon! Stay tuned!
