ASAL GPS variant provides 360 see and shoot capability and significantlysimplifies engagement execution versus Direct Attack VSProvides indirect and top/shallow attack capabilities (urban CAS, ground partytargeting/designation)

Increases standoff range by greater than 10 times that of Direct Attack Adds covert capability

(no observable signature)Increases launch altitudes:24.7K MSL External Carry31K MSL Internal Carry

ASAL Seeker dramatically increasesField-Of-View and Detection Range

G-Switch replaces Impact Fuze Sensor for better reliability against soft targetsGPS Munition Unit Cost reducedby > 40% in 2008

Lean Production Line Initiative eliminated many unnecessary tasks Alternate Domestic Suppliers found for critical components

Golden Shots- Pinpoint a moving armored car in a motorcade

Restricted (Minimal Collateral Damage) Urban Targets

- Reach down into cordoned urban canyons- Near vertical angle of attack projects warhead shrapnel into the targetand ground minimizing collateral damage

Convoy & TOC ISR & Security- At 10K AGL, UAVs relatively unseen, unheard, and undetectable- Allows observation of enemy preparations, IED placement, andambush points

Key Infrastructure ISR & Armed Response- Refineries, pipelines, politically sensitive locations, etc.

Monitor crit ical situations with t imely response- Undetected observation without ground troops in harms way (GPS) Extended Stand-off Range Attack

- Up to and beyond organic sensor range

(GPS) Close Air Support (CAS); Ground Party/Off Board Designate- Indirect Attack: 360 target relative azimuth attack

Substantial internal investment by Prime Contractor.

Extensive re-use and repackaging of proven weapon components.

Highly successful flight-test and qualification series.

Now in low-rate initial production.

Tests show suitabili ty for employment from host of ground and air platforms, and ground teams.

Powered, maneuverable, small, l ightweight, accurate and lethal,with reduced risk of col lateral damage.
