Military Weapons The World Didn’t Think Were Possible
Paveway Laser-Guided Bomb
Here you have an F-35B Lightning II dropping a 500-pound GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided weapon during a test over the Patuxent River in 2013. Raytheon and Lockheed Martin competitively produce The Paveway series of laser-guided bombs (LGBs).
Paveway bombs, in particular, are converted from unguided missiles into precision-guided arsenals. Used frequently during the War in Iraq, they are launched from the air to hit land-based targets. Paveway LGBs have been used by the U.S. Air Force, as well as international allies such as the United Kingdom.
