	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.
		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.

		Paveway IV also has a proximity fuze and penetrator plug in every weapon, meaning that the pilot can if necessary be retasked in the air to attack a variety of targets.
		Paveway IV, which the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy will apply to Mk82 500-pound bombs, is due to enter service in 2007, replacing existing dumb and 1,000-pound laser-guided bombs.
		It is anticipated that between 2,000 and 3,000 Paveway IVs will be ordered, a number that apparently has not been increased despite the reduction in existing UK Paveway stocks resulting from Iraqi operations.

	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.

	Raytheon Paveway III
		By the late 1970s, Paveway II laser-guided bombs were standard precision-attack air-to-ground weapons in the U.S. inventory.
		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.

		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 II can be delivered from low or medium-level; therefore, the operational environment the aircraft are flying in will dictate the release height of the bomb.
		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.

	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.

		As a result the service ordered the AGM-65 Maverick stand off missile and the Enhanced Paveway which incorporates GPS guidance which would negate the effects of smoke and bad weather.
		Using the more updated ordnance as well as unguided iron and cluster munitions, RAF GR7's played a prominent role in Operation Telic, the UK contribution to the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2003.

	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.

	Paveway / Enhanced Paveway Laser Guided Weapon
		The Enhanced Paveway interfaces with the aircraft avionics over the Mil-Std 1760 armament bus, and can be programmed to memorize up to eight target locations, to enable rapid retargeting during flight.
		During OIF Enhanced Paveway II and III bombs demonstrated the advantages of such combined seekers operating in all-weather conditions with minimized collateral damage.
		The Paveway IV is the latest generation member of the Paveway family of precision guided munitions built by Raytheon.

		July 19, 2006 The Paveway IV dual-mode GPS/INS laser guided bomb moved a step closer to active service when it was successfully dropped from a Royal Air Force Harrier GR9 in a test over the U.K. Ministry of Defence’s Aberporth Range in Wales earlier this week.
		The Paveway IV is developed from the foundation of the combat-proven Enhanced Paveway II, the most widely used precision munition in Operation Iraqi Freedom, with more than 8,700 dropped so far.
		Paveway IV is the next generation of the Paveway family of precision guided munitions and is jointly developed by Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) in the U.K. and Raytheon Missile Systems in the United States to meet the U.K.’s Precision Guided Bomb requirement.

	2003 MSTC Highlights
		In addition to laser-guided Paveway II and III variants, two new dual-mode (laser and GPS) versions of Paveway were used in combat for the first time: Enhanced Paveway II in-service with the Royal Air Force on Tornado and Harrier aircraft and Enhanced Paveway III operated by U.S. Air Force F-117 stealth fighters.
		It was also reported that Raytheon's family of infrared, TV and laser guided AGM-65 Maverick missiles was used successfully in Operation Iraqi Freedom, including the first combat use of two new variants: the AGM-65H, with a 125-pound shaped charge warhead, and the AGM-65K, with a 300-pound blast fragmentation warhead and selected fuze delay.
		Paveway was the "weapon of choice" during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

	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.
		Readers interested in more information about the operational aspects of the F-111 offensive avionics suite and mission profiles flown are directed to the June, 1984 issue AA (pp 29-37), which details the Mk.I analogue suite and Pave Tack in considerably greater detail.

		However, in practice they were almost always carried from the outboard pylons (stations 3 and 6) only, with the inboard pylons left empty.
		Beginning in the early 1980s, Paveway I variants of the GBU-10/-12 were used occasionally for training missions, but Paveway IIs and (beginning in the late 1980s) Paveway IIIs were more common for training and were the only LGBs used in combat.
		Only two GBU-15s were carried operationally, always on the outboard pylons to prevent inadvertently breaking the bombs’ wings (and poking holes in the aircraft’s skin!) by sweeping the aircraft wings too far back.
