Elbit Systems Ltd and Alliant Techsystems announced recently that they have signed a teaming agreement to develop the Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket-Laser(GATR-L).
GATR-L provides an affordable precision strike capability for all fixed-wing,rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial systems platforms. The 70 mm rocket employs a semi-active laser guidance package to achieve high accuracy against both stationary and moving targets. In addition, GATR-L provides the ability to lock-on before launch to ensure only the target of interest is engaged. GATR-L is compatible with existing 70 mm launcher hardware and utilizes enhanced insensitive munitions technologies.
