The missiles will be deployed on the Brazilian Navy's maritime helicopters.
Their AH-11A Super Lynx models are certified for the missile, but the official notice refers to the Marinha do Brazil's new S-70B Seahawks as the designated platform.
The Penguin Mark 2 Mod 7 is a relatively small anti-ship missile with a very distinctive profile.
Its boost-sustain solid fuel rocket motor gives the 120 kg/260 pound sub-sonic missile a maximum range of 34 km/21 miles, using inertial navigation and a passive infrared seeker for no-warning guidance.
It can take an oblique path to the target, turning up to 180 degrees around a waypoint, and also can perform random weaves before striking the target at the waterline, or popping up and diving into it.
The Penguin Mark 2 Mod 7 is operational on helicopters of the Norwegian, US (AGM-119B), Greek, Turkish, and South Korean navies.
Australia has a supply of Penguin missiles that were destined for the Super Seasprite but are now being sold off by Kongsberg.
