AGM- 1 19 Penguin Anti-ship Missile was developed by Norwegian Defense Aerospace Company, 1972 entered the Norwegian Navy, 1989 was adopted by the Norwegian Air Force, and 1994 was adopted by the US Navy. In addition, Turkey, Greece, Sweden, Australia, South Korea, Spain and other countries have also adopted this method. There are many types of missiles, such as Penguin Ⅰ, Penguin Ⅱ, Penguin Ⅲ, Penguin Ⅳ, etc., which have become a multi-purpose and multi-type anti-ship missile family including ship-to-ship, shore-to-ship and air-to-ship.

Penguin series anti-ship missiles adopt the same canard aerodynamic shape layout and similar missile body structure. The control rudder surfaces and stabilizing wings of the four arrow feathers are located at the front and rear of the projectile respectively, and the front rudder and wing are both X-shaped and on the same horizontal plane. The head of a cylindrical projectile is elliptical and the tail is hemispherical. The interior of the missile body adopts modular cabin structure, which is divided into three cabins from front to back: seeker cabin, warhead cabin and engine cabin. Seeker is a thermal imaging passive infrared seeker with variable field of view, which can be divided into wide field of view and narrow field of view. The large field of view is used in the long-distance target search stage, and when the missile approaches the target, it turns to the target tracking and locking stage. At this time, the wide field of view of the seeker is converted into a narrow field of view. The power plant is a smokeless solid rocket engine. The warhead adopts semi-armor-piercing blasting, weighing 120kg.
