LONDON and ORLANDO, FLORIDA, September 11th, 2007 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] today unveiled the DAGR™, a system developed with company funding to defeat targets close to civilian assets and friendly forces due to its precise accuracy and ability to minimize collateral damage. DAGR is a semi-active laser guidance kit that adapts to 2.75-inch/70mm rockets to provide guided-rocket performance comparable to that of the precision-strike laser-guided HELLFIRE II® missile.

The DAGR guidance kit provides 2.75-inch/70mm rockets, such as the Hydra-70 and CRV-7, lock-on-after-launch and lock-on-before-launch capability, target handoff, enhanced built-in test and laser coding from the pit. DAGR’s off-axis capability also increases the engagement envelope, providing additional field of view for angle of attack, moving targets and wind. |
