ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES (IAI) has recently completed a dual operational firing trial with LORA, the LongRange Artillery Weapon System, a precise ballistic surface-surface strike missile (SSM). The trial was performed as part of IAI’s work plan, testing and proving the production series of the said missile. The test demonstrated the state of the art capabilities of the advanced system to customers. The test also verified certain improvements in electronics and components that contribute to the system’s accuracy.

Held in the open sea, the complex trial included two scenarios to test and demonstrate LORA’s advanced capabilities. The first scenario involved a short-range launch to 90 km and the second to an extended range of 400 km. Under both scenarios, the missile was launched to its trajectory, navigated its course to the target, and was concluded by a successful hit with utmost precision. Both the weapon system and the missile successfully met all of the trial’s objectives.
