Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1) Missile Systems and Space Group Division will unveil the naval version of its Jumper autonomous artillery missile system, which has a range of up to 50 kilometers, at the Singapore International Maritime Defense Exhibition and Conference IMDEX Asia 2011 on Wednesday. The naval platform of the system will enable navies to provide support for land forces. The missiles have GPS/INS and optional laser guidance system for precision targeting in all weather and visibility conditions.
At IMDEX, IAI will also present an unmanned helicopter for both land and naval operations, which is still under development. The naval rotary UAV system can carry a payload of intelligence and imaging systems, and can operate in difficult climate conditions.
That’s a big load for the shooter to pack around, those Israeli’s gotta be mighty strong.
I am glad that someone was able to field it...Lord knows the Army Aquisition Corps couldn't!
It looks like a Port-a-potty.
