ATK and Elbit Systems Conduct Successful Flight Test of GATR from Helicopter
Elbit Systems Ltd. and Alliant Techsystems announced that they have successfully conducted flight tests of the Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR).
In a recent demonstration, conducted in Israel, GATR was deployed from a helicopter using a "lock-on before launch" method to engage an off-boresight target at a range of approximately three (3) kilometers. ATK and Elbit Systems validated flight worthiness, safe separation launch, and autonomous laser designated guided flight through a series of tests. The laser designated guided flight, launched from a standard 2.75 inch launcher, resulted in a direct impact on the target.
