ALHEDA MISSILE

The ALHEDA missile is a family of ground-to-ground and air-to-ground guided weapons developed to meet the operational demands of today’s military forces. Engineered in the United Arab Emirates, the system includes four specialised variants, each tailored with unique seeker technologies and warhead configurations to address different tactical needs on the battlefield.

Designed for sharp precision and responsive control, ALHEDA excels in striking time-sensitive targets under complex conditions. It ensures minimal exposure for operators by enabling stand-off launches from a safe distance. The system is not only accurate but also adaptable, capable of being deployed in multi-domain environments and across a wide range of mission objectives.
