PRODUCTOS

TAURUS KEPD 350 is the superior air-launched cruise missile for precision attacks against hardened and high value point and area targets. TAURUS penetrates dense enemy air defence in extreme low altitude flight and destroys the target with its highly effective two-stage warhead system. It uses a freely programmable multipurpose fuze that initiates the detonation of the penetrator at the preselected storey within the target structure using layer-counting and cavity detection. The excellent penetration capability, but also the possibility to use it against area targets makes TAURUS the weapon of choice against any high value ground target. The easy to use and highly flexible mission planning system provides all relevant information, such as the expected mission success, even before deployment.
