Shrike. AGM-45 Shrike is a passive-homing air-to-ground missile whose mission is to home on and destroy radar transmitters used by the enemy to direct ground antiaircraft batteries and surface-to-air missiles. Shrike was the first missile to be mass-produced specifically for the U.S. antiradar mission. Shrike-On-Board was a quick-reaction program during Vietnam to put Shrike on destroyers. Beginning in 1958, China Lake conceived, developed, and tested Shrike, the world's first successful antiradar missile, as a direct response to Fleet needs. China Lake pioneered antiradar (passive RF) guidance for Shrike, the High-Speed Antiradiation Missile (HARM) , and the Advanced Antiradiation Guided Missile (AARGM) . China Lake first developed Shrike, which begat HARM

At Poem hunter
Give him the other cheek
He won’t strike
Yes the First Shrike
A human loving poet
who all poet denizens like
His comments that heal
No poison to spike
An Eagle a Hawk a Shrike
All look Alike
Yes he is a fair player
Racist poets
He does dislike
Those who don’t like him
Can go take a hike
