[airtel]

India on Saturday successfully tested the smart anti-airfield weapon system, capable of engaging ground targets in a range of 100 kms from a fighter aircraft, at the integrated test range here in Chandipur.

SAAW, an indigenously designed and developed 120 kg-class smart weapon, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is a light-weight high precision guided bomb and one of the world class weapons systems, a DRDO statement said. The captive and release trials were tracked by Radar and Telemetry ground stations at ITR during the entire duration of the flight.

The performance of all systems was satisfactory with all the mission objectives achieved, the statement said.

This looks like great idea ... Also cost effective..
PG Kit for HSLD Bomb
The aim of PG kit is to convert dumb bomb in to
a precision strike weapon which increases range of weapon manifold by aerodynamics manoeuvering. The kit is in the form of tail cone and nose cone and can be fitted easily around the bomb body. The tail cone houses mainly electromechanical fin actuation system,
INS-GPS module, and a guidance on-board computer.The nose cone comprises of laser seeker module along
with electronics.
