Lahat ATGM mutates and finds new use
March 11, 2014



Israel has developed a new model of its helicopter antitank guided missile (ATGM) Lahat. This version weighs 13 kg, has a range of 13,000 feet (or less, depending on the height of fire) and runs as well as of heavy Hellfire launchers four missiles.



Back in 2009, Israel has demonstrated a new version of the original rocket Lahat presented initially in 1992 as Run of 105-mm and 120-mm tank guns. Model year 2009 was designed for use by infantry and helicopters. It weighs 12.5 kg and has a range of 8,000 meters. Lahat uses laser guidance system and is capable of its cumulative warhead hit the upper part of the relatively weakly protected tank.

There is also the option of Lahat, intended for use on UAVs. Its range of 13,000 meters and the launcher of four ready to fire missiles weighs 75 kg. Launcher with four missiles can also be installed on boats or cars. It also includes a laser designator.

============================================
The LAHAT (Laser Homing Attack or Laser Homing Anti-Tank, also a Hebrew word for incandescence) is a third generation semi-active laser homing low-weight anti-tank guided missile developed since 1992 and manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries. It was designed primarily to be fired by Merkava tanks' 105 mm and 120 mm tank guns, though it matches all types of 105 mm and 120 mm guns, including low recoil guns and low-weight guns of military armoured cars.[1] It is also suitable for patrol ships, possibly modified for 105–106 mm recoilless rifles, UAVs, HMMWVs, and SPAAGs.[1] Unlike other tank rounds, LAHAT does not need a tank gun for operation.
LAHAT has a semi-active laser guidance system, capable of both direct and indirect laser designation—the target can be laser-designated by the launching platform (e.g. firing tank) or other platform (e.g. another tank, helicopter, UAV, or forward scouting team), requiring minimal exposure in the firing position. With a low launch signature, the missile’s trajectory can be set to match either (top attack) armoured fighting vehicle, warship, or helicopter gunship (direct attack) engagements.
It has a range of 8 km when launched from a ground platform, and up to 13 km, when deployed from high elevation. The missile hits the target at an accuracy of 0.7 meter CEP and an angle of over 30 degrees, providing effective penetration of up to 800 mm of armor steel with its tandem warhead to deal with add-on reactive armor.[1] LAHAT might also carry embedded active protection system countermeasure capabilities. In any tank the LAHAT is stowed like other rounds in the ammunition rack, and handled just like any other type of ammunition.
The LAHAT was renamed to Nimrod-SR for the Latin American market.[2]
The United States military is considering using the LAHAT as a weapon to arm unmanned aerial vehicles. The missile has been tested on the RQ-5 Hunter.[3]
The LAHAT has been successfully test-fired from a helicopter in demonstrations. Eight missiles were launched at targets up to 10 km (6.2 mi) away from altitudes between 300 ft and 6,000 ft. Firings were conducted while the helicopter was hovering and moving at targets that were fixed and moving. One direct hit was scored using the helicopter's observation capability along with laser designation from ground forces.[4]

====================
Sepertinya ATGM "LAHAT" ( produk "IAI") ini pesaingnya ATGM "SPIKE" Rafael..
Kalau dibaca puan jarak tembaknya lumayan jauh dari 8 Km hingga sampai 13 Km tergantung di mounted dimana ATGM tersebut.
Sedangkan ATGM "Spike" atau "Javelin" kalu nggak salah hanya mampu maksimum 5 Km.
Untuk ATGM "Spike", Korea Selatan, Polandia telah mendapat lisensinya dari Rafael, Israel..
