Description: The Hermes is a modular, supersonic, bi-caliber, multi-purpose guided missile designed by Tula-based KBP for use by airborne, ground-based and sea-based platforms. The Hermes missile system consists of an expendable booster stage and the primary missile system, also known as sustainer, carrying a powerful high explosive (HE) fragmentation warhead. The spectrum of targets that can be engaged at day/night using the Hermes weapon system includes: armored vehicles, facilities, fortifications and low-speed air targets such as helicopters. The Hermes is sealed inside tube/canister which acts as the missile launcher.

The Hermes-K is the naval variant of the Hermes missile and has been designed for integration on patrol boats on self-contained launcher or on a modified AK-306 gun mount. Hermes-K can engage both low-speed aircraft and small surface vessels acting as an anti-ship missile. Hermes-K is provided with both 170mm and 210mm booster stage with a maximum range of 20 km or 100 km respectively. The 130mm in diameter carries a 28-30 kg HE fragmentation warhead. The guidance system combines the inertial navigation system (INS) with radio-command. The terminal guidance depends on a semi-active laser seeker.
