Laser and GPS-guided mortar munition
Operating with a range of 1-12 km depending on the mortar tube, Iron Sting utilizes sophisticated laser and GPS guidance systems that enable precise targeting while minimizing collateral damage and reducing risk to non-combatants.
The system offers three operational modes: GPS/IMU, SAL+GPS/IMU, and SAL+IMU, featuring a seeker laser sensor compatible with standard pulse (NATO STANAG 3722) and encoded CW laser diode. Upon launch, the munition powers up, deploys guidance fins, and employs its GPS and laser seeker to navigate to the target.
The warhead demonstrates impressive penetration capabilities against double reinforced concrete while delivering blast and fragmentation effects. Iron Sting's versatility is enhanced by its multi-mode fuze, which includes Point Detonation (PD), Point Detonation Delay (PDD), and proximity sensor (PRX) operating modes. The launcher can be vehicle-mounted, making it a cost-effective and mobile precision strike solution for complex combat conditions and urban environments.
