The maximum-range test was from an altitude of 40,000 feet from a U.S.
Navy F/A-18B more than 170 miles ( 150 nm ) from a mobile ship target.
After being released, the SLAM-ER twice received updated target
information, changed its course and directly hit the target. The
SLAM-ER is the only weapon in the Navy's arsenal capable of hitting a
moving target from standoff outside area defense ranges.

Any info about how far & high the F/A-18B was from the target when the
missile twice received updated target information from the launch
aircraft?


Where does it say the updated information came from the launch aircraft?
