The LORA uses a shaped trajectory flight mode. LORA is stored in a sealed canister, enabling very low maintenance costs. LORA exemplifies the cutting-edge technology Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) delivers for strategic defence and offense. Alongside LORA, IAI offers a diverse portfolio of advanced systems, including the Arrow 2 state-of-the-art missile interceptor, and Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system ensuring unmatched protection and defence.

The LORA is a Long-Range Artillery Weapon System capable of engaging strategic targets deep in the enemy’s territory from mobile or maritime platforms. LORA is an effective solution for destroying targets deep in enemy territory.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Outstanding response time and precision
- No weather or visibility constraints
- Survivability in flight due to supersonic velocity and shaped trajectory
Values & Benefits
Typical targets are fixed or transportable including infrastructure assets. The high explosive warhead can be delivered with significant accuracy, with a circular error probable (CEP) of 10 m across the whole range.
The missile can be launched within minutes from unprepared positions. Any target whose location is known within the range of the missile can be attacked and destroyed within less than 10 minutes from the launch decision.
