With a low launch signature, the missile's trajectory can be set to match either top attack (armored fighting vehicle, warship) or direct attack (helicopter gunship) engagements. another tank, helicopter, UAV, or forward scouting team), requiring minimal exposure in the firing position. The LAHAT is designed to achieve a 95 percent probability of killing under most conditions It has a semi-active laser guidance system, capable of both direct and indirect laser designation-the target can be laser-designated by the launching platform (e.g.

One direct hit was scored using the helicopter's observation capability along with laser designation from ground forces. Firings were conducted while the helicopter was hovering, and moving, at targets that were fixed, and moving. Eight missiles were launched at targets up to 10 km (6.2 mi) away from altitudes between 300 and 6,000 ft (91 and 1,829 m). The LAHAT has been successfully test-fired from a helicopter in demonstrations.
