# Aceeași rachetă, trei nume, după cine o lansează

Harpoon are un singur corp, un singur cap de rachetă, un singur radar de urmărire.
Armata americană îi dă totuși trei coduri diferite: AGM-84 când pleacă dintr-un avion,
RGM-84 când pleacă de pe o navă, UGM-84 când pleacă dintr-un submarin. Litera se
schimbă cu locul de lansare, nu cu arma. E o regulă în vigoare neîntrerupt din 1963,
cu 315 de coduri active azi — iar în martie 2025 a primit prima literă nouă de la
sfârșitul anilor 1980 încoace.

## O rachetă, trei nume

Codul unei rachete americane nu descrie arma. Descrie împrejurarea: de unde pleacă, ce
ținte lovește, ce fel de obiect e. Cu numărul de proiect 84, registrul înregistrează
nouă coduri diferite pentru familia Harpoon: AGM-84, RGM-84, UGM-84, ATM-84, CATM-84,
DATM-84, NAEM-84, RTM-84 și UTM-84.

Tomahawk urmează același tipar, cu o excepție: varianta terestră ar fi trebuit să fie
MGM-109G, dar a rămas BGM-109G — litera pe care Marina o folosea deja pentru toată
familia, niciodată corectată.

Codul are exact trei litere plus un număr de proiect, în ordinea: mediul de lansare,
misiunea, tipul vehiculului. Un prefix opțional arată dacă racheta e experimentală,
captivă sau doar o machetă inertă de antrenament.

## Ce înseamnă fiecare literă

### 1. Mediul de lansare
| Litera | Mediul de lansare | Valabilă |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A | Aer | 1963– |
| B | Mai multe medii | 1963– |
| C | Container neblindat | 1963– |
| F | Un singur soldat | 1969– |
| G | Pistă sau sol | 1976– |
| H | Depozitată în siloz, lansată la suprafață | 1963– |
| L | Lansată din siloz | 1963– |
| M | De la sol, de pe un lansator mobil | 1963– |
| P | Platformă fixă neblindată | 1963– |
| R | Navă de suprafață | 1963– |
| S | Spațiu | 1988/89– |
| U | Subacvatic | 1963– |

### 2. Misiunea de bază
| Litera | Misiunea de bază | Valabilă |
| --- | --- | --- |
| C | Transport | 1988/89– |
| D | Momeală | 1963– |
| E | Electronică specială, comunicații | 1963– |
| G | Atac de suprafață | 1963– |
| H | Viteză mare, hipersonică | 2025– |
| I | Interceptare | 1963– |
| L | Detectarea lansării | 1988/89– |
| M | Măsurători științifice | 1988/89– |
| N | Navigație | 1988/89– |
| Q | Țintă radiodirijată | 1963– |
| S | Sprijin pentru operațiuni spațiale | 1988/89– |
| T | Antrenament | 1963– |
| U | Atac subacvatic | 1963– |
| W | Meteorologie | 1963– |

### 3. Tipul vehiculului
| Litera | Tipul vehiculului | Valabilă |
| --- | --- | --- |
| B | Etaj de propulsie | 1988/89– |
| M | Rachetă ghidată, țintă sau dronă | 1963– |
| N | Sondă | 1963– |
| R | Rachetă neghidată | 1963– |
| S | Satelit | 1988/89– |

### Prefixul de statut (opțional)
| Litera | Statutul | Valabilă |
| --- | --- | --- |
| C | Captivă: transportată, nelansată | 1978/86– |
| D | Machetă inertă de antrenament | 1978/86– |
| J | Test special, temporar | 1963– |
| N | Test special, permanent | 1963– |
| X | Experimentală | 1963– |
| Y | Prototip | 1963– |
| Z | Planificată | 1963– |

Din cele 14 litere de misiune, una singură e nouă: H, pentru „viteză mare,
hipersonică”. Un memorandum din 25 martie 2025 a adăugat misiunea, dar nu spune ce
literă o desemnează — H se deduce dintr-un singur exemplu real, AHM-4A, racheta HACM.

## De la haos la trei litere

Înainte de 1963, fiecare armă avea propriul registru. Racheta Sparrow a Marinei a fost
întâi AAM-N-2, apoi AIM-101 la Forțele Aeriene — coduri fără nicio legătură între ele
pentru aceeași armă.

- **11 decembrie 1962** — Directiva 4000.20 cere un registru comun.
- **27 iunie 1963** — noul sistem intră în vigoare; Minuteman devine SM-80 → LGM-30.
- **1969** — se adaugă litera F (un singur soldat).
- **1976** — se adaugă litera G (lansare de pe pistă).
- **1978–1986** — se adaugă prefixele C (captivă) și D (machetă inertă de antrenament).
- **1988–1989** — cea mai mare extindere: vehiculele spațiale.
- **1993** — prefixul M (întreținere) iese din uz.
- **1997** — dronele reutilizabile trec în seria Q a avioanelor.
- **3 noiembrie 2020** — Instrucțiunea 16-401 a Departamentului Forțelor Aeriene.
- **25 martie 2025** — memorandumul care adaugă misiunea hipersonică.

## Ciudățeniile registrului

AIM-424 sare de la seria 260 la 424 fără explicație. MIM-147A reapare pentru o
rachetă neidentificată. RIM-35 n-a existat niciodată — legenda vine dintr-un proiect
de dronă complet diferit. Seria sateliților sare peste numărul 13, din superstiție.

## Metodă și limite

lui Instrucțiunea 16-401 a Departamentului Forțelor Aeriene (3 noiembrie 2020) și

Unitatea de numărare: un cod înseamnă o combinație distinctă de literă și număr de
proiect. Din cele 315, 143 încep cu litera A. Combinațiile reale de mediu și misiune
sunt 44 dintr-un total posibil de 168.
