Will Allow Independent Engagement Of 'Hostile Targets'
A program to outfit the U.S. Navy's MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned
helicopter with a weapons system is being undertaken by Northrop
Grumman. The Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System laser-guided
70mm rocket, in production for the Navy since 2010, will allow ship
commanders to identify and engage hostile targets without calling
in other aircraft for support.
