OVERVIEW
The LORA is an all-weather, surface-to-surface Long-Range Artillery Weapon System combining precision, range, and lethality. Capable of striking strategic targets deep in enemy territory from mobile or maritime platforms, it delivers high explosive warheads with a CEP of 10 m, using a shaped trajectory flight mode and sealed canister for low maintenance, enabling rapid strikes within minutes of launch.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Outstanding response time and precision
- No weather or visibility constraints
- Survivability in flight due to supersonic velocity and shaped trajectory
Values & Benefits
LORA can engage any target whose location is known within its range, destroying it in less than 10 minutes from the launch decision. Typical targets include Tactical SSM, MLRS units, air bases, air and missile defence units, command posts, and other military infrastructure.
Technical details include a weight of 1600 Kg, length of 5.2 m, diameter of 624 mm, angle of attack between 60°–90°, and a range of 90 to 430 km. Guidance is provided via GPS/INS, and the missile can penetrate fortified targets.
LORA features a single-stage solid rocket motor, all solid-state electronics, and all-electric drives with no hydraulics. The missile is sealed in its canister, eliminating the need for preventive maintenance.
The missile can be launched within minutes from unprepared positions. Its compact design allows land deployment with four sealed missiles on a standard 16-ton flat-bed truck, or maritime deployment requiring very small deck space. LORA exemplifies IAI’s cutting-edge technology, complementing other advanced systems such as the Arrow 2 missile interceptor and Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system for unmatched defence and strategic capabilities.
