HELLFIRE missiles (all variants) provide precision-kill capability and has become a key weapon in overseas operations. Laser HELLFIRE uses semi-active laser terminal guidance. The latest variant provides for point target precision strike and is effective against countermeasures. The HELLFIRE missiles are used by the MQ-9 Reaper aircraft. HELLFIRE procurement funding supports the entire HELLFIRE system to include resolution of obsolescence, end-of-life buys, safety, insensitive munitions, reliability, weapon integration activities, test sets, engineering changes, modifications, facilitation, production ramp-up activities and production issues. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. HELLFIRE unit cost may vary based on procurement quantities of Lead Service, other Services and/or Foreign Military Sales (FMS) for HELLFIRE. Prior to FY08, HELLFIRE missiles were procured under the Predator PE 0305219F.

Procurements for the execution year may vary due to changes in inventory objectives.
