The GTR is based off of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control’s and the Department of the Navy’s Enhanced Laser Guided Training Round (BDU-59B/B LGTR). CoAspire is offering this GTR as a candidate for Phase II SBIR activity with the Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps with the goal of transitioning to Phase II as soon as possible to further development.
