The Mark I Charismatic Autonomous Terminator (CAT) system is a family of
intelligent, stealthy, terminal-homing mouse-seeking missiles featuring
multi-sensor targeting with dual night-vision devices, and neural-net
architecture.

The CAT's self-righting inertial platform allows launch from any attitude.
Integrated multi-aspect attack profile with indefinite-loiter mode insure
a wide lethality envelope.  Upon target engagement, the CAT deploys four
clusters of retractable submunitions in addition to the primary warhead,
providing an enhanced radius of destruction.

The CAT uses regular or exotic solid or liquid fuel and is equipped with a
low-signature exhaust-obscuration system.  Firmware and connectors
compatible with any unit of the Mark I series guarantee unlimited expansion
capability, making the CAT system a cost-effective countermeasure to the
projected spectrum of rodent-threat scenarios well into the next century.

The CAT is now available [1] from ACME Anti-Roadrunner Systems Division of
McDonald Dynamics.  See us at the Paris Air Show, Tom Clancy's next movie,
