Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control is developing the Low Cost Autonomous Attack System (LOCAAS) smart submunition for the U.S. Air Force and Army. LOCAAS carries a multimode, explosively formed penetrator warhead which can be detonated as a long rod penetrator, an aerostable slug, or as fragments, based on the hardness of the target. Target aimpoint and warhead mode are automatically determined by the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control-developed Laser Radar (LADAR) seeker. Either vehicle can be dispensed from the Air Force SUU-64 tactical munition dispenser, an internal weapons bay carriage, a munition ejector rack, or external pylons. Each can be dispensed also from a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS®) rocket or an Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS®) missile.
