A long-range ballistic missile, a special launcher, a command and control system, and a ground/marine support system make up the LORA Weapon System, a sea-to-ground and ground-to-ground system.
It is created by the MALAM section of IAI’s Missiles & Space Group.
It offers diverse range ballistic assault capabilities with a precision level of 10 metres CEP (circular error probable).
The ballistic missile can be fired from platforms on land or in the water.
Its range is 280 kilometres.
A single-stage solid-fuel rocket motor powers it.
Its guiding system, which may be capable of in-flight manoeuvring, is based on both the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Inertial Navigation System (INS).
