ASTECH DEFENCE unveiled the revolutionary SKYWOLF Ground Attack Munition (GAM) Family for the first time at SAHA EXPO 2024, marking a significant leap forward in UAV strike capabilities.
The SKYWOLF GAM Family stands out with its powerful warheads—offering 2-3 times the firepower, extended ranges, and wider engagement envelopes compared to existing systems in the market. Designed for integration with both UAVs and fixed-wing aircraft, this mini smart munition family delivers operational superiority on the battlefield with range options of over 20, 40, and 80 kilometers and 16+ kilogram warheads.
ASTECH DEFENCE, a dynamic company formed by engineers with over two decades of experience in guided weapon and missile development, brings to life innovative and unique weapon systems. ASTECH is dedicated to advancing technological solutions across a broad spectrum—from munitions systems and aircraft design to missiles, subsystems, sensors, seekers, power systems, and rocket engines.
With a focus on agile and high-tech solutions developed by small, specialized engineering teams, ASTECH aims to make a lasting impact on the global stage through international partnerships and collaborations.
The GAM Family: Precision and Versatility
First product group to emerge from ASTECH’s innovative approach is the GAM Family, designed specifically for UAVs and fixed-wing aircraft. This family consists of four distinct systems:
- GAM-A with a 20+ kilometer range
- GAM-B with a 40+ kilometer range
- GAM-D with an 80+ kilometer range
- GAM-X with a 20+ kilometer range
These systems offer unrivaled versatility and precision, with a modular structure that allows for customization based on mission requirements. The GAM Family can be fitted with four different seeker options and two warhead types, providing precise strike capabilities against both stationary and moving targets. All variants share a common body, avionics, and platform interface, ensuring efficient integration across platforms.
While the GAM-A represents the base configuration, the GAM-B and GAM-D variants feature integrated wing kits to extend range and loitering capabilities, with GAM-D offering a propulsion system that boosts range and loitering potential.
GAM-X (Extra): Maximum Impact for Armored Targets
The newest and largest member of the family, GAM-X (Extra), has been specifically developed for armored and fortified targets. Designed for high penetration and destruction, GAM-X carries a significantly larger warhead than the other variants, delivering unprecedented destructive power and precise strikes.
A Game-Changer for UAVs
With its powerful warheads, extended ranges, increased LAR (Launch Acceptable Region), high maneuverability and adaptable capabilities, the GAM Family is poised to be a game-changer for battlefield operations, especially when integrated with national and international UAV systems. GAM munitions not only offer fire-and-forget functionality, but also support “Man in the Loop” firing modes, enabling real-time target updates via two-way communication.
This system can be deployed individually or in swarm configurations, providing tactical flexibility and operational superiority on the battlefield.
