REDON Systems has showcased its cutting-edge Achuk Loitering Munition System, marking its debut at a defense exhibition. Mounted on a Tata 4×4 Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV), the Achuk system combines mobility, precision, and lethality to address modern battlefield challenges effectively.
The Achuk system is a barrel-launched loitering munition platform designed for versatility in semi-autonomous and fully autonomous missions. It is engineered to neutralize a variety of targets, including terrorist hideouts, vehicles, fuel or ammunition depots, and other critical assets. It can also operate in swarm configurations, enabling a coordinated attack to overwhelm sophisticated enemy defenses.
Achuk integrates advanced software capabilities to maximize its operational efficiency with Object Identification and Tracking that also comes with GPS Target Relay that Provides real-time coordinates to ground stations for seamless operational control with Encrypted Communications for Swarm Capabilities.
Key operational parameters of the Achuk system include:
- A 30-kilometer strike radius and a maximum operational altitude of 3,500 meters, ensuring flexibility and reach.
- Payload capacity of 1.5 kilograms (excluding electronics and optics), optimized for delivering high-precision strikes.
- Operational resilience in extreme temperatures, ranging from -20°C to 50°C.
- 15-minute setup time, making it ideal for rapid deployment in dynamic combat environments.
