Description

The HOSBO is a highly flexible, general purpose weapon which can be equipped with a variety of lethal and non-lethal warheads. Diehl BGT Defence is studying blast/fragmentation and High Power Microwaves warheads. Collateral damage is avoided to the extent possible by using intelligent fuzes. Its smart design allows the flight path at the approach phase to be adapted to the target's profile. The HOSBO missile range is optimized for engagements of air defense sites and its maneuverability mated with advanced data-link and seekers will enable engagements of high-speed boats and fast moving jeeps. The flex-targeting capability will also enable mission abortion and engagement of opportunity targets. Besides, HOSBO could land in a deserted escape zone during missions in asymmetric scenarios observing stringent mission rules.
