New missile able to hit ‘over-horizon targets’

ISLAMABAD, Feb 28: Pakistan has attained another landmark in modern missile technology by producing a joint standoff weapon system. It is capable of hitting over-the-horizon targets with accuracy.

The system uses technologies called Integrated Global Positioning System’ and ‘Inner-shell Management System Navigation’. The programme is designed around the modular joint airframe guidance and flight control systems.

The maximum range of this missile is 70 kilometres. Under the programme, fighter jets fitted with sensors provide relevant details about potential targets and guide the fighter plane to strike them with an accuracy.

This system is used to hit armoured vehicles and fixed targets, a local television channel reported. Dr Prof Hassan Askari, a renowned defence analyst, highlighted advantages of the system and said that the missile could be fired from a fighter plane while remaining outside the range of enemy’s anti-aircraft and other defence systems.— APP
