Clark also highlighted the Inferno system as a new product, an EO/IR system with a laser detector for guiding laser-guided weapons. He discussed long-range precision fire systems, stating the Attack missile has an unclassified range of up to 300 kilometers and the GMLRS a classified range of 84 kilometers, both used with the multiple launch rocket system or HIMARS.
