RAMAT HASHARON, Israel, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Israeli Military Industries Ltd. is displaying its missiles and ordnance at next week's aerospace and defense exhibition in India.
The company said center stage will be its Delilah ground-launched, loitering guided missile, the MPR500 multi-purpose rigid bomb, the IFB500 improved fragmentation bomb and new Spectral IR flares.
IMI will also present the Red Sky 2, a very short-range air defense system offered as an upgrade to existing man portable air defense systems.
The Delilah GL is a precision, deep-strike loitering missile that is adaptable for both fixed and moving launchers such as IMI's Lynx autonomous multi-purpose rocket system. The missile is powered by a rocket booster for the launch phase and a turbojet engine for the cruise phase, allowing long-range flight and loitering capability.
It also incorporates a combined Global Positioning System satellite positioning and internal navigation system and real-time imagery for man-in-the-loop intervention and target validation.
The MPR500 bomb is capable of penetrating four multilevel floors and double reinforced walls, while reducing collateral damage. The bomb's enhanced effects eliminate the need for heavier bombs, thus increasing aircraft carriage efficiency and ultimately the number of targets engaged per sortie.
The IFB500 is a highly effective anti-personnel and anti-material fragmentation bomb with a uniquely designed fragmentation envelope comprised of more than 12,000 steel balls and a proximity electronic fuse.
IMI is owned by the Israeli government.
