These laser-guided projectiles can't be anything except the M712 Copperhead, a cannon-launched, fin-stabilized, terminally laser guided projectiles intended for high value targets. These projectiles are set to take the LAF's capability to the next level in this area in combination with the advancements in the other areas including air surveillance.
