LRPM Concept

The Concept of a new air-launched missile with 30-40 km range that can be used to destroy integrated air defense systems and lightly armored vehicles. The program called - Long-Range Precision Munition (LRPM). The missile could be launched by the Army’s current and future rotary wing aircraft, along with unmanned aircraft systems.
The idea behind this concept belongs to Timothy Bucklin. In this concept, the flight control system consists of two pairs of wings, each of which is independently controlled. The guidance system, in addition to satellite, consists of three modes of target acquisition: millimeter-wave radar, infrared homing and semi-active laser homing. The launch is carried out from a special container that easily adapts to any rotary wing aircraft and UAV.
