Minneapolis MN (AFNS) Jul 15, 2008
Elbit Systems and Alliant Techsystems have announced 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 (UAS) platforms.

The 70mm rocket employs a Semi-Active Laser (SAL) 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 70mm launcher hardware and utilizes enhanced Insensitive Munitions technologies.
