Precision impact - the ultimate solution?

Article Abstract:

Studies are being conducted to investigate the viability of a fiber-optic- controlled missile having a range of up to 100 km. Another research is studying the equipping of this and other fiber-optically-controlled weapons with dual infrared and millimetric-band radar sensors, data from both being simultaneously transmitted to the launcher through a single fiber optic cable. Investigations on the operational capabilities of such missiles demonstrate that firing blindly is no longer politically correct and that the syndrome is catching on mortars.
