PRECISION STRIKE
TAURUS KEPD 350E is designed to penetrate dense air defences by utilising
very low level terrain-following flight in order to neutralise high-value
stationary and semi-stationary targets. Its highly effective dual stage
warhead system MEPHISTO, combines the capability of defeating hard and
deeply buried targets (HDBT) and a blast and fragmentation capability to
take out high-value point and area targets. • Powerful precision strike capability
• Superior penetration compared to all other stand-off missiles
The weapon system contains the world’s only programmable multi-purpose • Contains first in class void-sensing fuze
fuze, enabling detonation of the penetrator at a pre-selected floor within • Worldwide only GPS independent stand-off missile
• Range greater than 500 km
the target structure by utilizing layer counting and void sensing technologies. • Highly accurate and jamming resistant navigation
