The Hellfire II is a multitarget missile system that can be launched from several rotary-wing aircraft, special mission fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based tripods and boats.
The missile system is capable of destroying a wide range of targets including tanks, ships and bunkers while minimising collateral damage on the battlefield thanks to its precision-strike semi-active laser-guidance system.
Manufacturing work will be carried out at ATK’s facility in Rocket Center, West Virginia. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in April 2011 and be complete by July 2012.
