Pakistan has attained another mark in the production of latest missile technology by producing Joint Standoff Weapon System. It has the capability to hit an invisible target with accuracy.

The system has been developed by using Integrated Global Positioning System and Inner-shell Management System Navigation. The programme is designed on modular Joint Air Frame Guidance and Flight Control systems. The maximum range of this missile is 70km.

Under this programme, fighter jet-fitted sensor provides the relevant details about the possible targets and guides the fighter plane to strike them with accuracy.

This system is used to hit armoured vehicles and fixed targets, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.

Dr Professor Hassan Askari, a renowned defence analyst, while commenting said that it is fired from a jet fighter and after piercing through air it can hit its target. The greater advantage of this system is that it can be fired from the fighter plane, while remaining outside the range of Anti-Air Craft and Defence System of the enemy.

It will add to the defensive punch of the country because it strengthens Air Defence System, Dr Hassan said, adding that it can hit hard targets, air shelters, underground command posts and tanks as well. Moreover, the missile is less expensive and effective defence system.
