Israel Aerospace Industries and IMI Systems have disclosed co-development of a new Related IHS Products
stand-off precision air-to-surface missile (ASM) system – designated Rampage - IHS Jane's Defence:
designed to address protected high value targets including command and control (C2) Weapons
centres, air bases, maintenance centres, and other key infrastructure assets.

Rampage is a supersonic all-weather day/night ASM with a stand-off range of “100s of Launched
kilometres,” Boaz Levy, General Manager and Executive Vice President of IAI’s Jane's International
Rockets and Space Group told Jane’s . The missile’s guidance/navigation solution Defence Review
features an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with micro-electromechanical Systems
(MEMS) technology combined with IAI's ADA GPS/GNSS anti-jam system
Targeting co-ordinates are communicated from the launch aircraft to the missile, which
is then launched in fire-and-forget mode. Levy said that the trajectory of the missile is
tailored to engage a target at a specific velocity and from a specific angle. “Once the
missile is launched, it flies towards predetermined co-ordinates, shaping its
engagement trajectory according to the characteristics of the target. The fact that
Rampage does not have a pure ballistic trajectory adds to its ability to penetrate and
defeat heavily defended targets,” he said.

launched (EXTRA) guided artillery rocket, with some minimal modifications to the
airframe for the air-launched application. While very little specific detail has been
disclosed about the Rampage co-development, Jane’s understands that IMI Systems
supplies the warhead, rocket motor solution, and airframe, while IAI supplies the
navigation/guidance and control systems.
Rampage has a total weight 570 kg (including the warhead – weight undisclosed), is
4.7 m in length and 30 cm in diameter, and is intended for integration on any aircraft,
said Levy.
