Hermes (Russian: Гермес)[3][4][5] is a family of modularly-designed guided missiles developed in Russia by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau. Capable of being fired from aerial (Hermes-A), land based (Hermes) and naval (Hermes-K) platforms, the Hermes system features a multistage rocket missile with a high-powered booster, and fire-and-forget capability with laser guidance and infrared homing.[6] It is designed to engage single and multiple targets (including tanks and other AFVs, fortifications of various types, naval surface targets and low-speed flying vehicles) with single or volley fire at ranges of up to 20 km and can track and destroy over-the-horizon targets.[7]


Hermes-A is used by Kamov Ka-52K helicopter and by Pantsir-ME CIWS system.[8]
