US Army Plans Testing of Lahat Laser Guided missiles on Hunter UAVs
|

The US Army and TRW are planning to test an
armed version of the IA/TRW Hunter UAV system, equipped with the IAI/MBT
Lahat laser guided missile. IAI has
already secured an initial order for Lahat, and the missile is planned to
reach production stage soon. The missile is designed for employment from
105mm - 120mm tank guns, as well as from launch tubes. Providing a test and
integration platform for US Army UAV activities, the Hunter is also being
evaluated with the MOSP sensor payloads that provide higher resolution and
allow the air vehicle to fly higher, day or night, and at a greater standoff
distance. Provided by IAI’s Tamam subsidiary, the new sensors include a
third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor and a spotter for
the Hunter’s day camera. |
