Lockheed Martin has released slow-motion footage of its new turreted weapon system successfully launching Hellfire and DAGR missiles. 

The YouTube video demonstrates Lockheed Martin's Long-Range Surveillance and Attack Vehicle (LRSAV) successfully carrying out ground-to-ground missile tests, held at Elgin Air Force Base in Florida last October.

During the tests the LRSAV launched a HELLFIRE missile 4 miles away from its target and the DAGR missile 2.2 miles away from the target. Both missiles locked onto and successfully hit their targets. 

The LRSAV is a turret weapon system, meaning that any target in a 360-degree area around the vehicle can be targeted.

The LRSAV can also be linked with AH-64D Apache helicopters to remotely designate targets.

The range of the LRSAV allows it to accurately engage targets from a safe standoff distance.
