ALAS (Advanced Light Attack System, Serbian: АЛАС)[1] is a new Serbian long-range multipurpose guided missile system developed by the private company EdePro and sponsored by Yugoimport SDPR. The new system was developed for attacks on tanks, armored fighting vehicles, fortifications, command posts, low-flying helicopters, coastal ships, industrial facilities, bridges and more. It can be used by helicopters, armored vehicles, small ships and infantry. The ALAS uses a combined TV/IC guidance, which cannot be jammed. The missile is guided using a fiber-optic cable which connects the missile to the launcher. ALAS flies at very low attitude and has very small radar and IC reflexive. This missile uses a turbofan motor instead of a turbojet motor. A secondary use for this system is as an UAV.
