Epik
Designed to be integrated
on to rockets from 122mm
calibre to MLRS/GMLRS variants,
EPIK (Electro-optical Precision
Integration Kit) uses scene-
matching technology as its
primary guidance method.
It is loaded with a reference image
that could come from a variety
of sources, including UAVs and
troops on the ground. As the
rocket descends into the general
target area, the EPIK seeker
compares the loaded image
against an onboard mapping
database.
By using this technology, the
EPIK is freed from reliance on
GPS guidance, which may be
denied by jamming. Rafael claims
that EPIK gives an accuracy of
around 3m, with the ability to
be targeted at levels down to a
single pixel. Rocket range is also
extended, while attack angles can
be programmed
