	RAF - Paveway II & III
		The original version of the Paveway II laser-guided bomb entered service with the RAF in the 1970s and is composed of a standard UK 450kg bomb with a computer control group fitted to the nose, supporting a laser seeker head and steerable fins.
		Paveway II equips Tornado GR4, Harrier GR7 and Jaguar GR3 aircraft.
		Paveway III is an upgraded LGB and is designed specifically to defeat hardened targets, such as protected underground command posts.

		During operation Desert Storm, Paveway LGBs were used to destroy enemy command and control facilities, bridges, SCUD ballistic missile launchers, and tanks.
		Paveway was also successfully employed by NATO forces in Operation Deliberate Force in Bosnia because of its pin-point accuracy and reduced chances of collateral damage.
		CMDC produces virtually every shipping and storage container for the Paveway family of Laser Guided Bombs, as well as the air foil groups for the MK 82, MK83, Mk84 and GBU22.

	Paveway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Paveway™ III kits were developed for the smaller Mk 82 weapons, aerodynamic instability and limited effectiveness caused the USAF to adopt the kit only for the larger 2,000 lb-class weapons (the Mk 84 and BLU-109.
		Paveway™ III guidance kits were also used on the GBU-28/B penetration bomb fielded at the close of the 1991 Gulf War.
		The Paveway™ III was also used during the Indian offensive in the Kargil War in 1999.

	Raytheon Paveway III
		The Paveway III GCU (Guidance and Control Unit) has a microprocessor-based autopilot, which implements proportional control in place of the cruder "bang-bang" (either full deflection of control surfaces or none at all) autopilot of earlier Paveways.
		Originally, Paveway III guidance kits were to be built for four different warheads: a new HSM (Hard Structure Munition), which didn't materialize, and the 500 lb MK 82, 1000 lb MK 83 and 2000 lb MK 84 standard bombs.
		Because Paveway III guidance kits are significantly more expensive than Paveway II kits, the latter are nevertheless still in service and won't be retired in the near future.

	DESERT STORM - Precision Guided Munitions
		The Paveway II (covered in detail in AA 9/1981) is a seventies development of the Paveway I, employing a bang-bang seeker and folding wings.
		The core of the Paveway III guidance system is a digital autopilot based on microprocessor technology, which supported by barometric sensors and an inertial reference unit, allows the weapon to fly an optimal midcourse trajectory after release.
		The Paveway II is an incremental development of the Vietnam era Paveway I, and uses a simple non-proportional guidance kit which is the key to the weapon's low cost.

	Guided Bomb Unit-24 (GBU-24) Paveway III - Smart Weapons
		In 1985 with the availability of the BLU-109/B Penetrator bomb the Paveway III was made to adapt it and thus was re-designated GBU-24A/B. The GBU-24B/B (PAVEWAY III) is a converted BLU-109A/B 2000 pound class bomb designated as a hard target penetrator (HTP).
		Paveway III also has increased seeker sensitivity and a larger field of regard.
		This bomb is not nearly as delivery parameter sensitive as is the Paveway II LGB, nor is it affected by early laser designation.

	Paveway Laser-Guided Bombs - en
		This program led to the 'Paveway' series of laser-guided bombs, of which the first were introduced in 1967 after the initial release of a laser-guided development weapon in 1965.
		The designation 'Paveway I' was adopted only in 1978, when a PEP (Production Engineering Program) was started for an overall improvement in laser-guided bomb capabilities, and is used for a series of add-on laser-homing kits, which are marked-target seekers and associated control surfaces developed by Texas Instruments.
		The 'Paveway I' soon proved in operations from 1968 that its primary benefit, other than the very high degree of terminal accuracy, was that the launch warplane needed no modification to carry the weapon and after weapon release could depart from the target area unless it was also the laser-designator machine.

	Texas Instruments Paveway I
		After the initial success, Paveway laser guidance kits were designed and produced for a variety of bombs, including the widely used 2000 lb MK 84 and 500 lb MK 82 bombs and several types of cluster munitions (see Variants section below for a detailed rundown of all versions).
		The original Paveway system was renamed Paveway I after the Paveway II follow-on program had been started in 1972.
		The reason for this reluctance is the fact that when a sortie is cancelled after the aircraft are already in the air, bombs are normally jettisoned over water for safety reasons before returning to the aircraft carrier.
