The AGM-84N Harpoon Block II+ has the ability to receive in-flight updates through its network-enabled datalink. The latest test proved that the missile could receive target location updates from an F/A-18 while in-flight.
The GPS guidance kit from the Block II has been upgraded with a new one as well.
