Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket System (GATR)
GATR is a lightweight, affordable 70-milimeter guided rocket weapon system that fills the gap between larger, more expensive guided missiles and the current family of unguided rockets. GATR combines combat-proven performance in rocket propulsion, warheads, and laser guided seeker technologies to deliver a low-collateral solution effective against the modern enemy. GATR is compatible with existing 2.75-inch, 70-milimeter launcher hardware.
The system features lock-on before or after launch capabilities, as well as autonomous or remote laser designation. These features enable the rocket to be deployed against targets at ranges of more than eight kilometers from fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
GATR supports integration on a full-range of attack platforms ranging from attack reconnaissance helicopters with critical weight restrictions to heavy attack platforms requiring many stowed kills per sortie.
GATR employs a Semi-Active Laser guidance package, employing acquisition tracking and guidance algorithms to achieve one-meter accuracy against both stationary and moving targets. GATR minimizes collateral damage, while providing stand-off deployment against a wide array of target sets. In its tactical configuration, the rocket will utilize enhanced Insensitive Munitions (IM) technologies, including an IM rocket motor and a family of IM warheads to include blast/fragmentation and penetration.
