There are a number of systems that convert cheap 2.75-inch rockets into PGMs by fitting them with a laser seeker.
This takes it a step further by allowing multiple missiles to be ripple launched in fire-and-forget mode. Ideal for dealing with swarming boat attacks.The missile uses an IR seeker.
‘Fire-and-forget’ LCITS technology to combat small swarming boat attacks
At the 63rd annual Naval Helicopter Association (NHA) Symposium in San Diego last week the Office of Naval Research (ONR) unveiled a new weapons technology designed to give helicopters, such as the MH-60 and the AH-1 Cobra, the ability to combat the threat of a small boat swarm. The Low-Cost Imaging Terminal Seeker (LCITS) system equips existing unguided Hydra-70, 2.75-inch rockets with a low-cost guidance capability that allows pilots to essentially "fire-and-forget," thereby allowing them to engage multiple, fast attack seaborne targets in a shorter period.
