The
Direct Attack Guided Rocket (
DAGR) is a weapons system under development by
Lockheed Martin. The program goal is to provide a low cost 2.75 inch (70 mm)
precision guided rocket which is compatible with existing
Hellfire II systems and launchers in service. The system will use components from the existing
Hydra 70 rocket, but differs from other upgrades to the Hydra 70 such as
APKWS and
LOGIR in that it is designed to be
plug and play compatible with the Hellfire missile and use the M299 Hellfire launcher, increasing the load-out by up to four times. DAGR also offers a lock-on before launch capability that is not compatible with the electronics in existing Hydra 70 launchers.
