Elbit Systems Ltd. (ESLT) said along with and Alliant Techsystems (ATK) it successfully conducted flight tests of the Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket, or GATR.
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. The laser designated guided flight, launched from a standard 2.75 inch launcher, resulted in a direct impact on the target.
