BAE Systems: successful laser-guided rocket tests
(CercleFinance.com) - BAE Systems has announced that it has successfully tested APKWS laser-guided rockets during trials carried out on the US Army's Yuma test ground (Arizona).
The tests focused on precision strikes against Class 2 unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Combining standard M151 warheads and Mk66 engines with APKWS precision guidance kits, these rockets can destroy airborne drones at a fraction of the cost of traditional strikes.
