[i]Second-generation missile launcher[/i]
[i]THIS IS AN ATGM[/i]

[b]DESCRIPTION[/b]
The [b]LancerK Mk2[/b] is a refined second-generation evolution of the original Mk1 system, developed to meet modern battlefield demands while preserving proven late–Cold War design principles. The Mk2 emphasizes compactness, higher speed, and improved midcourse control without sacrificing reliability.
Compared to its predecessor, the Mk2 features a significantly reduced physical footprint, increased missile velocity, and a short-range datalink system to allow in-flight corrections during the early and mid phases of flight. These upgrades improve survivability, flexibility, and effectiveness in dynamic combat environments.

[b]GUIDANCE TYPES & DESCRIPTIONS[/b]
[b]GNSS[/b]
Uses satellite navigation to guide the missile to precise ground coordinates by continuously calculating its position during flight.
[b]IOG[/b]
Guides the missile toward the target’s last known location if active guidance is lost, allowing continued engagement rather than immediate mission failure.
[b]RLOS[/b]
Radar Line-of-Sight guidance. The missile activates an onboard radar seeker to acquire and lock onto the target during the terminal phase.
[b]RCCM[/b]
Radar Counter-Countermeasures. Enables resistance to common countermeasures such as chaff and angle-gating, helping maintain tracking reliability.
[b]TAD (Top-Attack Delivery)[/b]
The missile climbs and attacks from above, exploiting weaker top armor and bypassing frontal defenses while clearing terrain and obstacles.
[b]TERCOM[/b]
Terrain Contour Matching. The missile uses **LiDAR** sensors to scan terrain below and compare it with stored terrain data, enabling accurate low-altitude flight over complex landscapes.
[b]DATALINK[/b]
Provides real-time course correction and command updates during flight. Datalink control is effective up to a maximum range of [b]20 km[/b], after which the missile transitions to autonomous guidance.

[b]CRUISE MISSILE DESIGNATION[/b]
The LancerK Mk2 system deploys missiles classified as [b]cruise missiles[/b]. Unlike ballistic or purely direct-fire weapons, cruise missiles maintain sustained powered flight, allowing precise navigation over long distances and complex terrain.
These missiles fly at controlled altitudes, actively adjust their course during flight, and use a combination of navigation, terrain-following, and terminal guidance systems to reach their target. This design enables low-altitude penetration, obstacle avoidance, and flexible attack profiles while maintaining high accuracy.
The cruise missile architecture allows the LancerK Mk2 to engage targets beyond direct line-of-sight, operate effectively in terrain-heavy environments, and retain guidance continuity even when external control is limited or lost.
