The integration of the AGM-158A joint air-to-surface standoff missile into the F/A-18's arsenal significantly enhances the Hornet's capabilities, enabling it to strike targets from well beyond the reach of enemy air defenses.
Stand-off weapons, like the AGM-158, are useful for striking the enemy from further distances without exposing aircraft to air defense systems, and in this case, the weapon's stealth and programming capabilities make them difficult to shoot down.
