Raytheon's Paveway guidance kits delivered to European customer
TUCSON, May 13 () -- A European ally of the United States has received more than 200 Paveway GBU-50 guidance kits from Raytheon.Neither the value of the kits nor the identity of the customer was revealed but Raytheon described the delivery as a "significant milestone" in the Paveway program.Paveway kits turn free fall, or "dumb," bombs into precision laser-guided weapons.The GBU-50 kit gives the 2,000-pound MK-84 or the BLU-109 penetrator with all-weather GPS navigation combined with precision terminal laser guidance and also selectable terminal impact angles.Each Enhanced Paveway II guidance and control section is compatible with warheads ranging from the 250-pound MK-81 to the 2,000-pound MK-84 along with the BLU-109. There is no need for the warfighter to acquire a different guidance and control section for different warhead use."This delivery is a significant milestone for the Enhanced Paveway II program as it provides unique capabilities to our allies,[url=http://www.chronotime.net/]christian louboutin discount[/url]," said Harry Schulte, vice president of Raytheon Missile Systems' Air Warfare Systems. "As we begin our second production run of the GBU-50,[url=http://www.dtvtk3.com/]jimmy choo outlet[/url], we have substantial interest from the international community."
