AIM-54 Phoenix Missile
Description
The Phoenix missile is the Navy's only long-range air-to-air missile. It is an airborne weapons control system with multiple-target handling capabilities, used to kill multiple air targets with conventional warheads. Near simultaneous launch is possible against up to six targets in all weather and heavy jamming environments. The improved Phoenix, the AIM-54C, can better counter projected threats from tactical aircraft and cruise missiles.
Features
Long-range air-to-air missile, carried in clusters of up to six missiles on the F-14 Tomcat.
Seems like the F-14 Tomcat would be a great fit for this dilemma with NK. Granted there would be some tweeking (updating) to the platform and missile.
