    AIR LAUNCHED APPLICATIONS


    It is recognised that a capability gap exists for a multi-role lightweight missile which can provide high lethality
    against the full spectrum of targets. The Lightweight Multi-role Missile (LMM)
    system satisfies this capability gap.

    LMM possesses excellent lethality against


    conventional and asymmetric threats including
    APCs, wheeled and tracked vehicles, because of the
    shaped charge coupled with the pre-fragmented
    blast warhead, matched with the highly sensitive
    proximity fuze.
