Equipped with Optronics systems and a small naval radar, an armed Aron M50 can fire small anti-ship missiles or guided rockets to attack larger ships. Aron deployed from coastal bases can provide a country with swift first response capability against trespassing vessels on its maritime territory. According to the manufacturer, Aron is an asset in strengthening core coastal patrol operations. It is able to assist in tactical response to enemy ships and control of long distance ocean borders.
In its basic configuration, the WIG craft is capable of reaching a top speed of 200 Km/h and has a range of 800 Km.
Aron tdk beda dg belibis, kalau belibis buatan dlm negeri mau apa tdk pejabat pemerintah/TNI membeli dan mengembangkan terus. Sesuai dg undang2 alutsista konsekuen apa tdk, kalau tdk ya ludrukan aja dan NKRI akan bobrok. Miris....di TNI ada kaki tangan asing.....perlu di retoling
