ALPAGUT is a smart loitering ammunition system with EO/IR seeker, 60+ km radius, 60+ minute endurance, and multi-warhead options for precision day/night strikes.

# STM Defense ALPAGUT – Smart Loitering Ammunition System

The ALPAGUT is a collaborative development by ALPAGUT, STM and ROKETSAN, designed as a high-performance smart loitering ammunition capable of precision strikes against fixed and mobile land and sea targets, radar and communication nodes, lightly armored vehicles, and critical facilities. Engineered for both single-shot and swarm employment, ALPAGUT combines long endurance, advanced seekers, and resilient guidance to deliver flexible engagement concepts.

Key Capabilities

• Long Range & Endurance: Operational radius exceeding 60 km with air endurance of 60+ minutes, enabling deep-reach tactical missions.

• Advanced Seeker & Sensors: Integrated EO/IR seeker allows covert detection and identification in day/night conditions and supports image-based fire control.

• Multiple Warhead Options: Configurable to carry >11 kg fragmentation, armor-piercing, or thermobaric warheads to match mission effects.

• Autonomy & Mission Flexibility: Performs target detection, tracking, evaluation while loitering and can autonomously dive onto targets with user approval, supporting mission reprogramming mid-flight and fire-and-forget profiles.

• GNSS-Denied Navigation & Resilience: Image-processing navigation support and hardened guidance deliver pinpoint accuracy even under location-jamming conditions.

• Safety & Control Modes: Offers flight termination, wave-off, and self-destruct safeguards alongside man-in-the-loop control options.
