Parent topics
- Aerodynamics [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Guided bomb [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Gravity bomb [r]: A bomb with no supplemental propulsion, whose trajectory is determined by initial velocity and gravity, or by the action of aerodynamic control surfaces. [e]
Subtopics
Historic
- Fritz-X [r]: First used by the Luftwaffe in WWII, the first precision guided munition to be used by an aircraft to attack a ship; a visually-guided rocket-boosted bomb [e]
- AZON [r]: Add brief definition or description
- RAZON [r]: Add brief definition or description
Current
- AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brilliant Anti-Tank [r]: An unpowered but aerodynamically guided, gliding weapon, originally developed as a cluster submunition for the MGM-140 ATACMS missile, but has been repurposed as a weapon to be dropped from armed unmanned aerial vehicles [e]
- GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser [r]: A strap-on inertial guidance correction kit for high-altitude release of cluster bomb units, including those not affected by restrictions on antipersonnel munitions such as antitank, microwave jammers, and electrical power line attack [e]
In development
- Joint Direct Attack Munition [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Global Positioning System [r]: Originally developed for U.S. military needs, a satellite-based system for obtaining precise position and time information; the most widely used part of the Global Navigation Satellite System [e]
- Inertial navigation [r]: Navigation method that does not depend on external references, but computes the present position by sensing the movement of the navigating platform from a precisely known starting point in space, using accelerometers to sense position changes from a reference provided by gyroscopes [e]
- Tactical Air Launched Decoy [r]: Add brief definition or description
