The first product jointly developed by Tawazun Dynamics, the Al-Tariq precision-guided bomb kit will make its debut at IDEX. The Al-Tariq guided bomb kit forms part of a joint venture company (Tawazun Dynamics) between Denel and Tawazun in the United Arab Emirates aimed towards the international market.

The 2011 IDEX was attended by official delegations from 52 countries. “We have identified the Middle East as one of the primary regions for our new marketing drive to grow Denel’s business,” says Mr Saloojee, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Denel SOC . “At IDEX we will have an opportunity to put some of our flagship products on prominent display and speak directly to potential clients.”

Al-Tariq is a family of strap-on bomb kit systems, used on MK81, MK82 and MK83 bombs. Al-Tariq provides the user with all-weather, day or night operational capabilities, utilizing GPS/INS guidance. Increased targeting accuracy can be achieved by using an Imaging Infrared (IIR) with complete Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) capability, or a semi-active laser seeker. The system can also be fitted with an RF proximity fuze for area targeting, using a pre-fragmented warhead.

The Al-Tariq can be used for a full range of missions as offensive counter-air, battlefield interdiction, deep battlefield interdiction and close air support.
