Description

The baseline BAT submunition uses passive infrared and acoustic sensors to find, attack and destroy moving tanks and armored vehicles deep in enemy territory. The BAT is an autonomous weapon capable of detecting, tracking, attack and destroy moving targets through its seekers. It can operate under adverse weather conditions day and night. The BAT is in fact an unpowered aerodynamically stable glider. The P3I BAT will use passive infrared and active millimeter wave sensors to improve BAT's kill-probability against cold, stationary targets and time critical mobile targets such as tactical ballistic missile or rocket launchers. BAT submunitions will be released from different platforms such as UAVs, fighters and missiles.
