Thales, in collaboration with the French Direction generale de l'Armement (DGA), has conducted the first guided targeting shot of its prototype 120 mm BAT-120LG unpowered, lightweight, laser-guided, air-to-surface munition. The BAT-120LG was launched from a French Air Force Mirage 2000D multirole combat aircraft against a static representative ground target at the DGA missile test range in Biscarrosse, southwest France, in early December 2018, the company disclosed. This follows the first guided release of an all-up BAT-120LG round in June 2018 from the same aircraft type, also at Biscarrosse. During that trial the prototype munition executed trajectory corrections in accordance with the test plan.
