Bofors STRIX

Pansarsprängvinggranat m/94 STRIX is a Swedish endphase-guided projectile fired from a 120 mm mortar currently manufactured by Saab Bofors Dynamics.

The Strix mortar round uses twelve midsection lateral thruster rockets to provide terminal course corrections.

[2] The tail unit is loaded first with the necessary propelling charges (up to eight increments), then the sustainer motor (if required) and finally, the programmed projectile.

A hand-held programming unit is connected to the projectile by cable prior to loading to feed in flight time before seeker activation, and with allowances for terminal phase ballistic conditions.

Feasibility and project definition studies began in 1983, as a joint private venture between FFV Ordnance and Saab Missiles.
