	Paveway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paveway is a kit that attaches to standard unguided bombs, consisting of a seeker unit with a thermal battery to provide electrical power, a set of front fins to provide course correction, and a set of rear wings to allow the weapon to glide towards the target rather than free-falling.
		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.

	GBU-12 Paveway II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GBU-12 PAVEWAY II laser-guided bomb is an American aerial bomb, based on the Mk 82 500-pound general-purpose bomb, but with the addition of a nose-mounted laser seeker and fins for guidance.
		GBU-12 bombs (along with the balance of the PAVEWAY series) are produced by defence giant Raytheon, with a subcontract to Texas Instruments.
		According to Raytheon's face sheet for the PAVEWAY 2, 99 deliveries of guided munitions will yield a circular error probable(CEP) of only 3.6 feet, vice a CEP of 310 feet for 99 unguided bombs dropped under similar conditions.

	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.

		The Paveway II LGB is essentially a 1000lb general purpose bomb with a seeker head fitted to the nose and with movable guide fins fitted to the tail.
		The Paveway III is a LGB fitted with a 2000lb hardened target penetrator warhead, which is steered by an improved precision-guidance package that follows the laser designation of a target.
		The Enhanced Paveway (EPW) family of weapons was procured to meet this requirement and the EPWII entered service in 2001 and the larger EPWIII entered service in late 2002.

	Guided Bomb Unit-12 (GBU-12) Paveway II - Smart Weapons
		In the early 1970s, the initial PAVEWAY was replaced by the PAVEWAY II, which featured an enhanced but also simpler and cheaper seeker head and pop-out fins to improve the weapon’s glide characteristics and make it easier to fit to an aircraft.
		Paveway II models have the following improvements: detector optics and housing made of injection-molded plastic to reduce weight and cost; increased detector sensitivity; reduced thermal battery delay after release; increased maximum canard deflection; laser coding; folding wings for carriage, and increased detector field of view.
		Enhanced Paveway II DMLGB is currently fielded in the RAF inventory and has already proven itself in combat as the weapon of choice for the RAF in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

	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.

		While JDAM is a single-mode weapon, Raytheonês Enhanced Paveway 2 Laser-Guided Bomb (LGB) combines its proven laser-guidance system with a GPS receiver in the nose of the weapon and GPS/INS guidance system in the tail cone.
		Paveway has an inherently greater range than JDAM because of its larger control surfaces and battery, affording more flexibility in the direction of attack and angle of impact on specific targets.
		Enhanced Paveway 2 has been used extensively by the US Navy, Marines and Air Force as well as by its lead customer, the UKês Royal Air Force, which has used over 500 in combat.

	BBC News \| Middle East \| Tornado pilots learn to handle 'smart bombs'
		The laser-guided Paveways - accurate to yards from a height of up to 35,000 feet - will give British pilots in any airstrikes an advantage over their comrades in the 1991 Gulf war, who had to brave anti-aircraft fire on low-level missions that cost several lives.
		Each of the eight Tornados based in Kuwait carries two Paveway IIIs or three smaller 1,000lb Paveway IIs, and is also fitted with two Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and two 27mm Mauser cannons for defensive use.
		The weight on the Paveway bombs, which cost £22,000 each, has a significant effect on the handling of the Tornado, as does the atmosphere in which the plane is flying, explained Group Captain Prissick.

		In addition to the 24 American and six RAF aircraft that carried out the attacks, another 50 aircraft were understood to have been involved in the operation, including one or two RAF Tornado F3s, which escorted the planes, and two VC10 tankers.
		During airstrikes in December 1998, Tornado GR1s used 1,000lb Paveway 2 bombs on raids on concrete command-and-control bunkers.
		The Tornados, which are currently the subject of a £1billion upgrade, were flown in pairs, one being equipped with a thermal imaging airborne laser designator to pinpoint the target.

	Harriers unload 2,000lb bombs on Serb armour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The laser-guided Paveway III is the most powerful bomb in the RAF arsenal and is capable of striking at Serb tanks hidden deep in tunnels in the Kosovo mountains.
		The tactical switch comes after a lean week for the Harrier GR7s, which have been frustrated by bad weather over Kosovo, limiting their attacks to large fixed targets, such as army barracks and ammunition dumps.
		The decision to use the 2,000lb Paveway IIIs, which are accurate to within six feet and capable of penetrating rock or reinforced concrete, is seen as part of a fresh Nato strategy to get to grips with Serbian forces on the ground in Kosovo.

		Until the new system enters service, the RAF is being provided with an interim Precision Guided Bomb capability, ordered after the experiences in the Kosovo campaign underlined that the ability to bomb accurately in all weathers was a priority requirement.
		The interim capability - based on an enhanced version of Raytheon's Paveway 2 and 3 bombs, using the Global Positioning System to give increased all weather accuracy - is due to enter service with Tornado GR4 aircraft on 27 October.

	New Tusks for the Pig
		By the early eighties the RAAF sought to expand the role of the F-111 to encompass both maritime strike and first pass strikes against hardened point targets, both of which required a major improvement in accuracy and thus the use of Precision Guided Munitions (PGM).
		At the today ridiculously low cost of several thousand dollars a round, Paveway 2 laser guided bombs have virtually supplanted unguided bombs as the bread and butter munition of the 82 Strike/Reconnaissance Wing.
		To fully understand the scope of the upgrade it is useful to briefly review the functional aspects of the aircraft's offensive avionics.
