Lockheed Martin Showcases Several Programmes [DEFEXPO DAY 4]

: Feb 9, 2014 - : 10:39 am

U.S. defence major Lockheed Martin has several programme and capabilities on offer for the Indian military including Javelin missile, guided mulitiple launch rocket system (GMLRS), DAGR and Hellfire II.
Javelin: The world’s premier medium-range multi-purpose weapon system and shoulder-fired anti-tank guided missile system, Javelin takes the fight to the enemy. Javelin automatically guides itself to the target after launch, allowing the gunner to take cover and avoid counterfire. Soldiers or Marines can reposition immediately after firing, or reload to engage another threat. Using an arched top-attack profile, Javelin climbs above its target for improved visibility and then strikes where the armour is weakest. Javelin is combat proven in Afghanistan and Iraq.
GMLRS: The guided multiple launch rocket system (GMLRS) is fired from the multiple launch rocket system M270A1/B1 and the high mobility artillery rocket system launchers. GMLRS is an international cooperative programme among the United States, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
DAGR: DAGR is a semi-active laser guidance kit that adapts 2.75-in. (70mm) rockets to provide guided-rocket performance comparable to the precision-strike laser-guided Hellfire II missile. DAGR is being developed by Lockheed Martin to fill the gap between unguided rockets and the Hellfire II by providing a precision-strike air-to-ground weapon for close air support in urban environments that minimises collateral damage.
HellfireE II: The Hellfire II modular missile system provides multi-mission, multi-target capability with precision-strike lethality and fire-and-forget survivability, giving field commanders maximum operational flexibility. The Hellfire II family is the primary air-to-ground precision weapon for the US military. Hellfire II has been used extensively in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, with more than 10,000 rounds fired successfully from multiple platforms, including rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft.
