Panzerknacker Donnerkeil

The Donnerkeil is a Austrasian-made in service with the Austrasian Luftwehr intended use by medium and large UAVs. The Donnerkeil is armed with a 7-inch warhead with a fragmentation/incendiary sleeve that is effective against armoured vehicles, bunkers and soft targets. Alternatively, the Donnerkeil can carry a warhead which is particularly effective against soft-targets including troops in cover. The Donnerkeil has controllable angle-of-impact, from near-vertical to near-level, providing high flexibility for engaging different classes of targets.

Donnerkeil-Lang
The Donnerkeil-Lang is intended for engaging mobile and armoured targets at extended range. The missile has a multi-mode active MMW radar & passive MMW Radiometer seeker and a midcourse GPS/INS guidance system, and a two-way datalink, providing fire-and-forget guidance at extended range against both moving and stationary targets. For interdiction against armoured columns, up to twenty-four Donnerkeil-L can be networked in a flock that will autonomously recognize a column and assign individual vehicles to individual munitions in the flock. Donnerkeil-L can receive mid-course updates from GMTI/SAR surveillance radars for precise interdiction of moving targets.

Donnerkeil-Fernsehen
Intended for engaging individual point targets including bunkers, heavy weapons positions and dismounts, the Donnerkeil-Fernsehen is fitted with a TV and imaging infrared seeker, GPS/INS midcourse guidance and a two-way command link. The Donnerkeil-FS is exceptionally versatile capable of operating in fire & forget, lock-on-before launch or lock-on-after launch modes. Its two-way command link allows the weapon to be controlled directly by the operators from launch to impact - particularly effective for engaging targets in highly cluttered environments or in close proximity to friendly forces and non-combatants.

Donnerkeil-Kurz
A low-cost complement to the Fernsehen and Land models, Donnerkeil-K is fitted with a strapdown semi-active laser terminal seeker and GPS/INS midcourse guidance system. As the practical range of laser designators limits the Kurz to an effective range of 25 km it cannot exploit the full kinematic potential of the munition, but the simplicity and ease of use of the laser designator, its high precision and man-in-the-loop control make it ideal for close support and attacking targets of opportunity.
