RAPID Ranger can be integrated into a network enabled force structure and be coordinated with Early Warning Command and Control (C2) systems or it can operate in an autonomous mode for specific missions.
Equipped with the Starstreak or other missile systems such as anti-armour systems, or rocket systems, RAPID Ranger has the ability to take on a wide spectrum of targets such as Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), static installations and terrorist platforms, as well as air threats, such as UAV’s, cruise missiles, pop-up helicopters and FGA’s.
