🇺🇸 The American company Anduril Industries announced the success of the tests of the high-precision ammunition Barracuda-100M for attack helicopters as an alternative to the Hellfire, the main weapon of the U.S. Army aviation.
According to the developers, their missile reaches a distance of 100 km, almost 10 times greater than the Hellfire, and also requires half the resources and manufacturing time. Anduril claims that the cost of the products is the same.
Furthermore, the Barracuda-100M is one of the representatives of the Barracuda family, with different ranges and for different carrier aircraft. Its payload weighs 18 kg and its guidance is autonomous with target identification using preloaded images.
