In a recent demonstration, conducted in Israel, GATR was employed from a helicopter using lock-on before launch to engage an off boresight target at a range of approximately 3kilometers. Alliant Techsystems and Elbit Systems validated flight worthiness, safe separation launch, and autonomous laser designated guided flight through a series of tests.
