Penguin Mk 2 Mod 7 Missile
With a range of more than 34 kilometres, targeting warship-sized vessels at subsonic speed with a rocket engine, the Penguin Mk 2 Mod 7 is a stand-out missile for Royal New Zealand Navy flight crews on board No. 6 Squadron’s SH-2G(I) Seasprite helicopters.
The missile is designed to skim above the sea and penetrate targets at their waterline. The warhead has a delay fuse which detonates inside the target. The result is a proven, tightly-integrated weapon that combines accuracy, lethality, and reliability.
Within the cockpit, the Penguin integrates seamlessly with the aircraft’s combat system, allowing the crew to employ the weapon with precision and confidence. RNZN observers load data into the system, which the Penguin relies on to be guided to the target.
