Reading the article, it sounds like it rides up on the grenade launcher charge, tries to acquire the laser designator, and then fires the internal rocket to go make the kill.
Sorry, kids. No charcoal face for you from backblast! |

Full Story http://defensetech.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/pike-missile-model-600x400-490x327.jpg Raytheon Co., the world’s largest missile maker, unveiled a new miniature laser-guided missile for Special Forces and infantry troops. Measuring just 17 inches long and 1.5 inches wide and weighing just 1.7 pounds, the projectile has a range of about 2 kilometers and is designed to be fired from existing rocket-propelled grenade launchers, such as the M203 and ELGM, Smith said. Smith wouldn’t say how much internal research and development funding the company spent on the project, but he said the effort has been underway for about three years. In May, Raytheon successfully tested two Pike munitions with dummy warheads at a private range in Texas, he said. The technology is compatible with any kind of properly coded laser designator, he said. "It sees the reflection of laser energy off the target,” he said. "It’s looking for that laser energy. As it hits its apogee and it starts coming downhill, it will see its laser spot … You don’t even have to start by lasing. You can launch it, just as long as you get the laser on it before it hits its apogee and starts coming down. For a long shot like that, you could probably lase 15 seconds after launch.” An M203 launcher beneath an M4 rifle would need to be modified to accept the round, Smith said. "The ones that are underneath the M4 carbines now, they can’t swing out far enough to slide it in,” he said. "It only sticks out so far. So they would have to modify that.” What? You didn't know 40mm grenades were rocket propelled? That and the 203 was phased out for the 320... |

Too small a warhead, in my opinion, for true Infantry use. Why didn't Raytheon just come out and say it is for drone use? Scared? View Quote How's that? How many direct fire attacks have been at a range that is past 500 meters, out to 1000? It would be a nice asset to send into the idiot that thinks he's at a safe stand off distance, taking shots at us. It would be useful. |

Serious question....how much more explosive can this thing carry vs. a standard 40mm round? Like 2 or 3 times the amount? Would it really justify the price tag? Based on what I'm reading it seems like it's main advantage is providing firepower beyond 400 meters, that's it. Am I missing anything?

the M203 is so limited in what it can use
The M79 was much more useful.. this missile would probably work w/o any problem, given its a std 40mm grenade format. |
