SkySniper is an air-to-surface missile developed by Israel Aerospace Industries IAI.[1] The 4 metres (13 ft) long weapon has a maximum range of 81 nautical miles (150 km; 93 mi), and carries a general purpose blast/fragmentation warhead.[2] The SkySniper uses GPS/INS guidance for targeting under all weather conditions. IAI designed the SkySniper for a maximum loadout of four missiles on contemporary combat aircraft such as the F-15, F/A-18, F-16, MiG-29, and Kfir.[3][4]
