The Low-Cost Guided Imaging Rocket (LOGIR; Korean: 저비용 유도 이미징 로켓), officially known as Poniard (Korean: 비궁; Hanja: 匕弓; RR: Bi-gung) is a surface-to-ship guided rocket developed by Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and LIG Nex1.[2] The LOGIR was a weapons system under development for the US Navy as part of ONR's Low-Cost Imaging Terminal Seeker (LCITS) FNC.[3] It transitioned as the weapon used in the Medusa Joint Capability Technology Demonstration with South Korea.[4]
Poniard successfully passed four Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) organized by the U.S. Department of Defense from 2019 to 2024 after achieving 100% accuracy.[5]
