The AGM-84E SLAM (Standoff Land Attack Missile) was a subsonic, over-the-horizon air-launched cruise missile that was developed by McDonnell Douglas from the AGM-84 Harpoon antiship missile.[2] The SLAM was designed to provide all-weather, day and night, precision attack capabilities against stationary high-value targets[1] as well as ships in port.[3]
