DownloadA Gliding Bomb with Pinpoint Accuracy and Less Damage
|
Military technology is ever-changing and the design of precision-guided weapons changes with it, leading to more advanced, agile, affordable, lighter and more lethal air-deployed concepts. One of them is EDePro’s PGB-128 (Precision Gliding Bomb), a standoff precision-guided weapon that we developed and take great pride in as an ideal answer to the challenges of today’s combat aircraft. Designed as an air-to-ground weapon, the PGB-128 is capable of engaging fixed, relocatable and moving targets with pinpoint accuracy and a decreased collateral damage. With its advanced data link, as well as navigation, guidance and homing technologies, it can rise to the challenges of the most critical attack missions. |
But, these are not the PGB-128’s only advantages. Its 128 mm (5-inch calibre) round allows the strike aircraft to carry a higher number of the more accurate bombs. The modular design enables it to accommodate different warhead types, such as blast fragmentation, anti-armour or thermobaric. The PGB-128’s advanced flight performances were achieved by integrating an efficient DiamondBack wing assembly, which has an exceptionally light airframe. Apart from increasing the maximum operational range to 25 km, it enables a release altitude of 7620 m and a maximum speed of 200 m/s. The weapon can be released from low-speed, medium-speed and high-speed aircraft and carried by NATO’s standard 14-inch lugs. With a GPS/INS guidance, as well as a SAL seeker system, its expected accuracy (CEP) is 1.5 m at all distances. |
