The AV-8B tested the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) for the first time in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region last week.
The firing was carried out at the W-183 range training area, off Okinawa, Japan on Jun. 9.
A total of eight guided rockets were fired, said Capt. Paul M. Gucwa, a Harrier pilot with VMA-311.
