Specifically, it is available in mobile and palletized versions to protect critical infrastructure as well as moving targets.
The system comprises a launcher for 70mm laser-guided Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) II rockets, Leonardo’s RPS-40 Multi-Mission Hemispheric radar, and a telescopic mash with an electro-optical sensor and infrared cameras.
APKWS rockets, such as the Hydra 70 Mk 66, have a range of 10 km, which is identical to the detection range of the RPS-40 radar.
