OVERVIEW: The Stunner aka aka SkyCeptor is a two stage ABM using a hit-to-kill warhead using a IIR and radar seeker.

DETAILS:  The Stunner is a two-stage missile with a hit-to-kill warhead. It travels at Mach 7.5, reaches an altitude of 15km, and has a range of 40 to 300 km. Stunner's distinctive drooped nose allows room for both the interceptor’s radar and infrared homing seeker. Stunner contains a three-pulse motor. The first two accelerate the missile through its initial trajectory while the third maneuvers the interceptor and prior to intercept. Because the missile's engine switches off and on a few times during the flight, it has a greater range than the Iron Dome interceptor.  

Testing has proven the system’s ability to destroy large torrents of high-caliber rockets and short-range ballistic missiles.
