| Splash damage value | 35 [CfgAmmo 2] |
| Warhead type | High-Explosive [CfgAmmo 3] |
| Blast radius (metres) | 8 [CfgAmmo 4] |
| Has proximity fuse? (metres) | No |
| Launch velocity (m/s) | 0 [CfgMagazines 1] |

| Deflection angle (degrees) | 0° [CfgAmmo 7] |
BLUFOR/INDFOR air-to-ground anti-radiation missile.[CfgAmmo 8][note 2] Can utilise Lock-on After Launch (LOAL).[1][CfgAmmo 9]
The AGM-122M Sidearm is only available in one type of configuration:
- AGM-122M Sidearm (single missile only)[CfgMagazines 2]
The AGM-122M Sidearm is technically soft-launched[CfgMagazines 1] but its motor will immediately ignite after launch (there is no delay).[CfgAmmo 10] However, it will still need a further 5 seconds[CfgAmmo 11] of flight time to attain a maximum speed of 920 m/s.[CfgAmmo 5] The missile has an in-flight manoeuvrability[2] factor of 36[CfgAmmo 12] and an air drag[3] value of 0.2.[CfgAmmo 13] The missile only has enough fuel for 30 seconds of flight.[CfgAmmo 14]
The missile's seeker has a maximum lock-on range of 8,000 metres[CfgAmmo 15], a minimum lock-on range of 150 metres[CfgAmmo 16], a maximum in-flight lock-on cone angle of 30 degrees[CfgAmmo 17], and an off-boresight limit of 45 degrees.[CfgAmmo 18] Targets can only be locked onto if they are moving at speeds of 130 km/h or less.[CfgAmmo 19][Formula 1] Its seeker has a 50% chance to have its lock get broken by chaff-based countermeasures.[CfgAmmo 20]
Available on:
- A-143 Buzzard
- A-164 Wipeout
- AH-99J Python
- K40 Ababil-3 (AAF variant only)
- MQ-4A Greyhawk

The Sidearm only has access to one type of backup sensor that can be used in lieu of the aircraft's sensors:

BLUFOR long-range air-to-ground/surface-to-surface anti-tank missile. Primarily utilises laser lock-on for guidance (via data link)[CfgAmmo 43][note 5] but can also lock directly onto vehicles.[CfgWeapons 1][CfgAmmo 44]
The Titan NLOS is available in two configurations:
- Titan NLOS 1x (single missile pod only)[CfgMagazines 4]
- Titan NLOS 2x (dual missile pods)[CfgMagazines 5]
Titan NLOS missiles are hard-launched with a velocity of 30 m/s.[CfgMagazines 3] 0.01 seconds after launch[CfgAmmo 45], the Titan NLOS will need up to 200 seconds[CfgAmmo 46] of flight time to attain a maximum speed of 194.444 m/s.[CfgAmmo 37] The missile has an in-flight manoeuvrability[2] factor of 16[CfgAmmo 47] and an air drag[3] value of 1.0.[CfgAmmo 48] The missile only has enough fuel for 205 seconds of flight.[CfgAmmo 49]
The missile's seeker has a maximum lock-on range of 32,000 metres[CfgAmmo 50], a minimum lock-on range of 50 metres[CfgAmmo 51], as well as a maximum in-flight lock-on cone angle and off-boresight limit of 360 degrees.[CfgAmmo 52][CfgAmmo 53] When not locking on via laser, locks can only be maintained on targets that are moving at speeds of 126 km/h or less.[CfgAmmo 54][Formula 4] The Titan NLOS is technically immune to countermeasures of any kind[CfgAmmo 55] but its seeker can still be confused by smoke-based countermeasures if the plumes are fully formed.
If the Titan NLOS is being guided by laser lock-on, the missile adopts a terrain-following[4] flight profile as soon as it is launched. The missile will then transition between three phases:[CfgAmmo 56]
- Initial: Missile will adjust its altitude in order to maintain a constant height of 200 metres above terrain level (ATL).[CfgAmmo 57]
- Seeking: Once the missile is 500 metres from the target, it will begin terrain visibility checks before its terminal phase of flight commences.[CfgAmmo 58]
- Locked: If the terrain visibility checks are passed[CfgAmmo 58], the missile will enter its terminal stage of flight and immediately descend towards its target.
Available on:
- AH-99J Python
The following ground vehicles and naval vessels have access to the Titan NLOS, though they are not capable of utilising the dynamic loadouts feature (it is equipped by default):
- Combat Boat (AT)
- Hunter AT

Notes[]
- All ordnance information is accurate as of December 12th, 2024 (Game Version: 2.18).
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Due to its explosive config token being set to a value of 1, this warhead inflicts purely explosive-type damage and will not inflict any kinetic damage to the target.
- ↑ If available, this munition can be detected by the target's Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) once it has locked on and is inbound towards it.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 This sensor IS NOT affected by the player's View and Object Distance settings.
- ↑ This munition's explosive config token is set to a value of 0. It exclusively deals kinetic-type damage to the target.
- ↑ If available, this munition can be detected by the target's Laser Warning Receiver (LWR) during lock-on and by its Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) once it has successfully locked on and is inbound towards it.
Trivia[]
- The Titan NLOS is directly based on the real-world "Spike NLOS" missile designed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel.[5][6]
- AGM-122M Sidearms on the other hand, are simply Falchion-22 missiles that have been converted into ARMs (with distinct colours for its fins and canards)[7], which are in turn based on Raytheon's "AIM-9M Sidewinder" missile.
