Israel's state-owned defense industry has been working on extending the range of precision-guided munitions (PGMs) for both counter-insurgency as well as conventional warfare missions.

They said the missiles and rockets would be able to strike a target up to 100 kilometers away with a circle error of probability of one meter.

 

"Say, you know of a major terrorist in Afghanistan or another country, who is in a house deep in the mountains, and this could take days for ground forces to reach," an official said. "This missile could be fired and go right through a window and blow up the room or apartment he is staying in."
