Footage of the "Pakistan developed missile" from Pak TVISLAMABAD, Feb 28 (APP): Pakistan has attained another mark in the production of latest missile technology by producing Joint Standoff Weapon System, which would enable Pakistan Air Force and Navy to hit the targets with accuracy. The system is a joint venture of Pakistan Air Force and Navy. It has been developed by using Integrating Global Positioning System and Initial Management System, Navigation System. The programme is designed on modivator Joint Air Frame Guidance and Flight control systems. The maximum range of this missile is 70 km.
Under this programme, fighter jet fitted sensor provides the relevant details about the possible targets and guides the fighter plane to strike them with accuracy. This system is used to hit armoured vehicles and fixed targets, GEO TV reported. Dr Professor Hassan Askari , a renowned defence analyst while commenting said that Joint Standoff Weapon System is a form of Cruise missile. It is fired from a jet fighter and after piercing through air it can hit its target. The greater advantage of this system is that it can be fired from the fighter plane while remaining outside the range of Anti Air Craft and Defence system of the enemy.
It will add to the defensive punch of the country because it strengthens Air Defence system, Dr Hassan said and added that it can hit hard targets, air shelters, underground command posts and tanks as well. Moreover, the missile is less expensive and effective defence system
