Paveway II & Paveway III

Paveway II & Paveway III

Precision laser guided bomb

Aircraft:•Tornado GR4•Harrier GR7•Jaguar GR3•Typhoon F2

Paveway II

• Paveway II is a precision laser-guided bomb which can be dropped from low or medium level and is homed onto its target by an airborne TIALD pod or from troops on the ground using a laser designator.

• The bomb’s guidance package steers the bomb onto the source of reflected laser energy.

Dimensions:Length: 3.68mWidth: 0.42mWeight: 546kg

Paveway III

Paveway III

• Paveway III is a larger, upgraded LGB and is designed specifically to defeat hardened targets such as protected underground command posts.

• Paveway III equips Tornado GR4 aircraft

Dimensions:Length: 4.45mWidth: 0.92mWeight: 1141kg

Precision laser guided bomb

Aircraft:• Tornado GR4• Harrier GR7

Enhanced Paveway II

• The Enhanced Paveway II laser-guided weapon gives the RAF the ability to strike static, mobile and armoured targets accurately in all weathers and for 24-hours a day.

• EPWII is based on Paveway II.

• Once released, EPW is fully autonomous in cases where there is cloud cover over the target which may obstruct the laser and prevent weapon guidance.

Paveway IV

Low-cost, all-weather, 24-hour precision guided bomb

Aircraft:•Harrier GR9•Tornado GR4•Typhoon F2

Paveway IV

Paveway IV

• This advanced and highly accurate weapon provides the RAF with a state-of-the-art precision guided bomb.

• It replaces the Paveway II weapons and the 505kg unguided general-purpose bombs.

• Equipped with the latest Global Positioning Guidance technology, Paveway IV is a low-cost, all-weather, 24-hour precision bomb capable of destroying the majority of general-purpose targets while significantly minimising collateral damage.

• The first platform to receive the weapon was the Harrier GR9 with Tornado GR4 and Typhoon F2 following.
