The fourth of five developmental test flights has successfully been completed by the Boeing SLAM ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response). The missile’s target was a simulated fighter aircraft within a revetment a walled enclosure that closely surrounds aircraft to form a protective barrier to shield them from nearby explosions.
Launched from 40,000ft, SLAM ER descended to a low-altitude and flew a maximum range trajectory to the target, where it performed an aggressive pop-up manoeuvre from a low altitude and then executed a steep dive to the target
