Super Ice Missile Features

• It is equipped with a 454 kg warhead compatible with the MK83 (a US-made aerial bomb).
• It is equipped with an autonomous navigation system that allows it to fly at low altitudes while following the terrain.
• For target acquisition, the missile uses an electro-optical system featuring high-precision image matching technology.
  • Image-matching guidance allows the missile to compare images captured by its onboard sensors with reference imagery to help determine its position and identify its intended target.  
  • This is particularly useful when satellite navigation signals are disrupted or unavailable. 
• The company has withheld its exact range and speed, but the new missile is said to be faster and has a longer range than the ICE BREAKER, which has a range of up to 300 km.
