All rockets and air-launched weapons
Four records sit in this group. RAVEN 145 is a container-launched family of reconnaissance and strike vehicles, quoted at less than 50 kg loaded, with electric, gasoline or turbojet cruise propulsion and warhead options of 145, 165 and 175 mm. The other three are the payloads the source associates with unmanned carriers: the 130 mm M1 high-explosive fragmentation warhead with its M17SP safety-arming mechanism, the 40 mm M25 pre-formed fragmentation bomb with the UTE M25 fuze, and the 90 mm HEDP M25, which the source also lists for a hand-held 90 mm launcher.
High-explosive fragmentation warhead for equipping unmanned aircraft, built from a warhead assembly with a fragmentation envelope of 6 mm steel balls and an M17SP safety-arming mechanism with associated electronics.
Pre-formed fragmentation high-explosive bomb launched from a short-range unmanned aerial vehicle to destroy personnel inside and outside shelters as well as technical and material means.
Multi-purpose shaped-charge fragmentation warhead for destroying armoured and unarmoured ground targets, fortified structures, missile launchers and personnel, mountable on the single-use armed drone KOMARAC 2, the OSICA system or the 90 mm RBR M79 hand-held rocket launcher.
Family of container-launched RAVEN 145 reconnaissance and loitering strike vehicles with electric, gasoline or turbojet propulsion, INS/GPS/GLONASS navigation and optional TV or IIR terminal homing, offered with tandem anti-armour and blast-fragmentation warheads.
The three payload records give calibre, length, mass and explosive mass. The 40 mm M25 bomb and the 90 mm M25 warhead add a lethal radius and an operating temperature range, with the UTE M25 fuze named on the 40 mm; the 130 mm M1 gives a minimum effective range of 14 m, a maximum fragmentation range of 300 m and the M17SP safety-arming mechanism instead. The 90 mm record adds penetration on a homogeneous armour plate. The RAVEN 145 record is specified as a system, with starting and payload mass, wing span, launch and cruise propulsion, navigation, launcher capacity and control-station configurations.
M25 appears twice at two different calibres: as a 40 mm bomb of at most 225 g carrying 48 g of explosive with a minimum of 550 steel pellets, and as a 90 mm warhead of 1800 g carrying 670 g. The 130 mm M1 is heavier again at 8.65 kg with 1.8 kg of explosive. RAVEN 145 is the only vehicle here, and its variants differ in propulsion, range and endurance.
These are payloads and vehicles that the source ties to unmanned carriers rather than to a launcher or a gun. Three are warheads or bombs quoted with a carrier aircraft or drone, and the fourth is the loitering vehicle family itself, supplied with its launcher and ground control station.
The record lists several. A reconnaissance gasoline variant is quoted at 300 km and 240 minutes, electric attack variants at 120 km and 50 minutes, gasoline attack variants at 150 km, and an area-target gasoline variant at 600 km. Launcher capacity is given as 8, 12, 18 or 27 containers.
