Rocket or Missile Palestinian Territories GATR Hydra-70 series
Analyst Note 15 August 2026
This image shows remnants of a Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR) alongside the remnants of a Hydra-70 series rocket. Developed and produced by Elbit Systems of Israel, GATR adds advanced capabilities, including guidance, to ‘dumb’ Hydra-70 rockets, in similar fashion to the U.S. APKWS system. GATR replaces the fins typically found in Hydra-70 series rockets with those of a new design. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Iraq Paveh/Quds/351 series
Analyst Note 10 June 2026
This image shows the launch of an Iranian Paveh surface-to-surface cruise missile in Iraq. The munition was fired by Iranian proxy forces and reportedly targeting Israel. Some sources indicate the Paveh has been renamed the ‘Jamal-10’, whilst others claim it is being locally produced in Iraq by Iranian proxy forces. With an estimated 75% of the missile’s components coming from outside Iran, distributed production is certainly possible. The missile has two large wings located forward of the munition’s midpoint, three smaller fins towards the tail, and four actuated fins around the tail. The initial launch is accomplished with a solid-propellant rocket motor, which gives way to a turbo jet flight motor mounted on top of the missile, towards the tail. (ARES)

Air-Delivered Bomb Middle East JDAM kit › GBU-31 JDAM BLU-109
Analyst Note 10 June 2026
Highlighted are four GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) guided air-delivered bombs loaded onto the belly of a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft. The GBU-31-series consists of a 2,000-pound-class bomb (Mk 84, BLU-109, or BLU-109A/B) and a guidance kit comprising a tail unit with four articulating fins and a guidance control unit with inertial navigation system (INS) and global positioning system (GPS) functions. The GBU-31 munitions seen here are built around the BLU-109, a penetrator munition with a solid nose and a thicker, one-piece body which flares slightly at the base. It has no body welds; the heavy steel base plate is held in place by an equally robust threaded steel closure ring. The BLU-109 is painted olive drab with a single yellow band towards the nose.

Submunition Iran [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0012
Analyst Note 10 June 2026
This image shows the ‘manoeuvrable re-entry vehicle’ (MaRV; a detachable, steerable payload section) of an Iranian ballistic missile loaded with submunitions. It appears there are three different models of submunition loaded into the MaRV (black, blue, and red). The black and blue submunitions are most likely anti-personnel designs, whilst the red submunitions (indicated by a red box) are likely designed with penetrating or shaped-charge warheads to target vehicles or structures. Some submunitions may utilise time-delay fuzing, allowing for random detonations over several hours or days to hamper clearance efforts, denying use of the afflicted area. Reports have shown Iran has used ballistic missiles with mixed submunition loads, and suggest that this type of warhead can scatter its payload up to a radius of 8 km. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Kuwait Shahed-136 series
Analyst Note 10 June 2026
This image shows a screenshot from one of the videos released by the Kuwait Civil Aviation showing a one-way attack (OWA) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) striking the Kuwait International Airport. The munition’s distinctive delta-wing configuration and general size, shape, and manner of flight are consistent with the Shahed series of OWA UAVs. The related entry shows a Mado MD550 engine recovered following this strike, a model used to power the Shahed-136 series, enabling a more precise identification. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Iran AGM-114 Hellfire series › AGM-114R2 Hellfire II
Analyst Note 21 April 2026
This image shows an AGM-114R2 Hellfire II missile. The AGM-114R2 is an enhanced version of the the AGM-114R multi-role missile, which is designed to engage a wide variety of targets. The Hellfire R-series missile are equipped with a multi-purpose warhead that can engage armoured or unarmoured vehicles on land or sea, as well as personnel in the open or in buildings. Reports indicate that the AGM-114R2 features improvements to its guidance software and tracking to increase accuracy against moving targets, as well as incorporating an adjustable height-of-burst (HOB) capability which allows it to detonate at a pre-determined height above the ground.

Rocket or Missile Lebanon [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0011
Analyst Note 28 April 2026
This munition, believed to be of Israeli origin, has been documented at a number of strike sites in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. Although distinctive remnants permit its tentative identification, the lack of a confirmed model name means this munition has been assigned a Temporary Munitions Identifier (TMID) by ARES. This appears in the Tentative Model field of the OSMP so that all records of this munition in the database can be linked under one temporary name. (ARES)

Artillery Gun Projectile Ukraine 3OF39 Krasnopol
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
The 3OF39 Krasnopol is a laser-guided, rocket-assisted 152 mm tank gun projectile carrying a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead. The round is built and shipped with a cover over the optical sensor. This protective cover is fitted with a T-90 mechanical time delay fuze. Once fired, the T-90 fuze will initiate after a pre-selected time and will jettison the protective cover, exposing the optical sensor in the nose. The internal impact fuze, which can be set for immediate or delayed initiation, is then responsible for detonating the projectile. (ARES)
