    Rocks: Autonomous Extended Stand-Off Range Air-to-Surface Missile

    Uploaded by

    Daniel Madrid
    ROCKS is an autonomous extended stand-off range air-to-surface missile designed to strike high-value stationary and relocatable targets in GPS-denied areas. Equipped with either a penetration or blast fragmentation warhead, it can destroy above-ground or underground targets from outside heavily defended areas using inertial navigation and scene-matching or anti-radiation homing to overcome GPS jamming with pinpoint accuracy and minimal attrition.
