Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd. (IAI) MBT Division has performed several firing tests, which fully demonstrate the capabilities of the LAHAT system. The system is ready to enter to the pre-production phase.
The system is a gun launched laser guided weapon system which can meet the Anti-Tank and Anti-helicopter mission requirements.
The LAHAT has a highly improved Loss Exchange Ratio compared with the most advanced existing 105/120 mm ammunitions.
The combination of increased effective engagement range and the LAHAT's increased first round probability of kill greatly improve a tank's survivability.
The LAHAT system is an add-on system, which requires very minor modifications in the tank's fire control system.
