Equipped with an enhanced laser seeker and new software, the AGM-65E2 will reduce the risk of collateral damage and enable pilots to use onboard aircraft lasers to designate targets.
It can provide stand-off capability and high probability of strike against tactical targets, including armour, air defences, ships, transportation equipment and fuel storage facilities.
Raytheon Missile Systems air warfare systems vice-president Harry Schulte said the laser-guided Maverick was an ideal weapon for urban combat and high-speed manoeuvring targets.
