Jadara plans to launch new products with more advanced systems and better specifications next year.
“Next year we have very promising projects and Jadara will make a big jump,” said Khaled Jafar, Vice-Chairman, Jadara Equipment and Defence Systems.
The compamy plans to launch the much-awaited shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket launcher, designated as RPG Raptor, which is aimed to replace the man-portable rocket-propelled grenade launcher RPG32.
“We just finished the development of the launcher last week, after successfully completing the development of the rocket and the launch tube. Currently working on the development of the ballistic table and we hope it will be ready shortly,” Jafar said.
Raptor’s fin-stabilised 107 mm caliber missile has a range of 500 meters as compared to RPG 32’s 350 meters, and has a penetrating capacity of up to 500 mm.
Amid the rising demand for ATGMs in the region, Jafar said, a new product that will be launched next year is the Terminator FM. The beam riding ATGM, has a caliber of 152mm, a range of up to 5000m, and equipped with a tandem HEAT warhead capable of penetrating rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) after explosive reactive armour (ERA) up to 1000mm.
“The system is almost ready. We are in the final stages of the development of the guidance sight. We are trying to make it much better with high resolution so that it can acquire the target of a maximum range of five kilometres, better than any systems currently available in the market,” he said.
The launcher component of the system weighs 27.3 kg, while the missile in its container weighs 29.7 kg. Jadara claims that the Terminator-FM can operate at temperatures from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius.
Referring to other developmental projects, Jafar said: “We are also working on replacing our sights. We just started, we want to move into using digital sights using cameras instead of optical sights. We are also working on introducing fire and forget systems for the laser guided weapons that we produce. These are already under development. We finished the development of the software algorithms. We design our own guiding algorithms for target acquiring and tracking under severe weather and visibility conditions,” he said.
