L3Harris Technologies said its modular Vampire counter-unmanned system successfully fired Thales Belgium’s 70 mm FZ275 laser-guided rocket during a live-fire test at a military base in Poland, marking the first time the effector was launched from an FZ605 rocket launcher using the platform. The demonstration integrated L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-10D electro-optical/infrared targeting system and Widow mission management software with Thales’ rocket and launcher, hitting multiple ground targets and showcasing what the company described as rapid integration capability to meet operational needs such as border security in Europe.
