Israel's "Wandering" missile system

Traditional missiles were launched toward the goal "visible" with naked eyes, radar, etc., or how to determine coordinates and skip towards there.

In recent years, however, as the development of unmanned weapons such as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has progressed, the idea of ​​"Loitering Attack Munition" was born to float in the air for the time being and jump into the target if found.

In the movie, even a fairly small goal is hit by hitting the center. Even if there are many lives if it is aimed at such things, it is not enough.

The details of startle is as follows

Inject from the container with a rocket booster


Rise to a certain altitude as it is


When the rocket fuel runs out, fly with a propeller. Since the target is assumed to be a relatively low speed such as a tank or a ship, there is no problem with this


Images that you can see that it is hard to supplement because the silhouette is much smaller than other fighters and helicopters


Supplementation of target


I capture a clear silhouette with infrared images


Descent according to the speed of the opponent. Aim is not blur


Hits near the center of the target


Explosion here if you have an explosive charge


According to the research team of the IAI, competition in the military industry seems to intensify further as US military already has a faster UAV driven by jet engines being put into practical use.
