Long Range Anti Tank (LRAT) Missile project has been launched in 2005 by the Undersecreteriat of Defence Industry in order to meet this requirement of the T129 Turkish ATAK Helicopter with National capabilities. ROKETSAN being the main contractor of the project, LRAT is planned to be in service at the same time as T129 Helicopter. With the Phase-1 contract signed in September 2005, design activities for the project have been succesfully completed in the first semester of 2008 and the 2nd phase (Development) contract has been signed by ROKETSAN and the Undersecreteriat of Defence Industry in July 31, 2008.
ROKETSAN being the main contractor, other Turkish Defence Industry companies also contribute to the LRAT project. The Warhead of the missile is planned to be effective against modern combat tanks. LRAT will not only be a solution for an important requirement of Turkey's defence, but also will be a product with great potential among our Ally Countries.
The long-range air-launched anti-tank guided missile (LRAT) envisaged as the main armament for the future T-129 light attack helicopter is met by ROKETSAN.
Fitted with an imaging infrared seeker LRAT has a maximum range of 8 km and will be used by the Turkish ATAK Helicopter against armoured ground targets.
LRAT, as well as the ability to be used by land platforms, has the following characteristics;
Lock on before or after firing
Use in day/night and all weather conditions
Tandem Warhead, effective on reactive armours
Insensitive munition
