EXTRA ("Extended Range Artillery") is an artillery rocket system developed and manufactured by Israel Military Industries (IMI) and used by Israel Defense Forces, Azerbaijan and Vietnam and Kazakh Army since 2013.[2] It has a maximum range of 150km with a 120kg unitary warhead and accuracy of 10m CEP.[5][6][7]

The EXTRA missiles can be launched by IMI's Lynx, as well as from a variety of other available launchers.[8]

The ship launched version is called TRIGON.[9]

IMI developed an air launched version of the missile,[10] originally called MARS.[11] The air-launched version was later renamed Rampage; it was scheduled to enter series production in 2019.[12]
