Mission Effectiveness
TigerShark™ enables defence forces to engage defended or distant targets with speed, precision, and autonomy without relying on satellite navigation or real-time control. Its guidance suite combines inertial navigation with GPS-free terrain mapping for reliable operation in GPS-denied and spoofed environments.
Built for coordinated launch and rapid deployment, TigerShark can be fired as a salvo from a land-based vehicle launcher to overwhelm or degrade enemy defences. Its modular payload bay supports a wide range of mission types, from warhead delivery to electronic disruption.
This versatility makes TigerShark ideal for allied nations seeking cruise missile-type capability with an increased pace of iterative in-service development and innovation at a lower per-unit cost.
