Texas-based firm Aeon has pushed its Zeus shoulder-fired anti-tank missile through live testing, marking a key step forward for a system positioned as a lower-cost alternative to the FGM-148 Javelin weapon.
The new missile weighs 20 pounds (9 kilograms) and measures 30 inches (76 centimeters) long. Its design allows for tool-free payload swapping, enabling operators to reconfigure the system quickly based on mission needs.
Zeus is also built for networked operations. It supports the Android Team Awareness Kit for command and control and can be launched from multiple platforms, including ground vehicles, drones, and other autonomous systems.
