Excerpt from news release about the self-funded rocket:

P44 ? a 7-inch diameter 220-pound missile with an effective range from zero to more than 70 kilometers ? is a next generation missile system. It can be launched from an MLRS® multiple launch platform, including the combat-proven HIMARS, the newest generation of highly-transportable multiple rocket launch platforms.

With wings and fins folded, 10 P44s can be packaged into MLRS rocket pods with considerable margins for growth. The four-mode P44 has Global Positioning System-aided inertial guidance; carries a mature tri-mode terminal seeker with semi-active laser (SAL) for designated targets; Doppler millimeter-wave radar (MMW) for weather penetration and detection of moving targets; and cooled imaging infrared (IIR) for imaging and discrimination. The projected warheads for P44 are either a 28-pound HELLFIRE II Metal Augmented Charge (MAC) or a 17-pound shaped charge with precursor.
