Hawker Beechcraft and ATK demonstrate weapons system
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) and ATK announced an upcoming demonstration of ATK’s guided advanced tactical rocket (GATR) from HBC’s AT-6 light attack and armed reconnaissance (LAAR) aircraft. The demonstration is expected to take place by the year end.
“We are excited to showcase the capabilities of this weapon system on the AT-6,” said Jim Maslowski, HBC President, US and International Government Business. “GATR’s low-cost and very low collateral damage make it an excellent choice to prosecute the LAAR mission.”
GATR is a 70mm precision system that uses a semi-active laser guidance package to achieve extreme accuracy against both stationary and moving targets. With GATR, the pilot is able to lock-on before launch to ensure that only the target of interest is engaged, providing precision strike with much less collateral damage at a significantly lower cost than current guided missiles.
GATR is deployed from a light-weight 2.75 inches/70mm modernised rocket launcher in a seven-tube configuration for fixed-wing platforms and either a seven or 19-tube configuration for rotary wing platforms. GATR can be used for air-to-ground and ground-to-ground missions, including military operations in urban terrain.
