The AGM-45 Shrike is an American anti-radiation missile designed to home in on hostile anti-aircraft radar. It was developed by the Naval Weapons Center at China Lake in 1963 by mating a seeker head to the rocket body of an AIM-7 Sparrow. It was phased out by the United States in 1992 and later by the Israeli Air Force, and has been superseded by the AGM-88 HARM missile. The Israel Defense Forces developed a ground-launched version of the Shrike with a booster rocket, mounted on an M4 Sherman chassis as the Kilshon.
