ALPAGUT is a loitering munition jointly being developed by ROKETSAN and STM. ALPAGUT can operated day or night, is effective against vehicles, surface targets, radar and communication systems, critical facilities, personnel and targets of opportunity.
ALPAGUT can be used in single or swarm configurations with an operational radius of 60 kilometers, an operational time more than 60 minutes and different types of warheads. Once fired or released, the system will enter into target detection, tracking and evaluation mode, hovering in the air and the onboard TV/ IIR seeker feeds the real time video image to the operator. ALPAGUT then attacks the identified target after obtaining user approval from the ground autonomously.
ALPAGUT can detect and recognize targets with its gimbal EO/IR system without being noticed or affected by jamming systems. The target can be pinpointed with an onboard guidance-control system. In addition to all these features, the system also offers significant advantages to its users through its fire and forget ability, and its rapid integration into manned and unmanned land/air/sea vehicles.
