SMARTGLIDER

LONG RANGE, MULTI-TARGET PRECISION GLIDE MUNITION

  • High precision and flexible multi-mode terminal guidance
  • Two formats of weapon to cover the maximum number of air-to-ground missions
  • Minimum logistic footprint

Description

The SmartGlider family constitutes a new generation of air-to-ground tactical strike weapons for the decades to come.

The family comprises two formats of weapon: light and heavy, to cover the maximum number of air-to-ground missions from Close Air Support (CAS) to Air Interdiction and Offensive Counter Air (destruction of enemy air assets on the ground) as well as Suppression and/or Destruction of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD/DEAD).

  • SmartGlider Light will allow first-day-entry by saturating and destroying enemy air defences as well as continuing to be the preferred general purpose munition as the conflict progresses.
  • SmartGlider Heavy relies on the same glide concept as SmartGlider Light, yet features a significantly larger warhead which is capable of delivering combined high penetration and blast effects. This allows for the engagement of a wide range of large sized targets.

Characteristics

  • Weight: Light 120kg / Heavy 1,300kg
  • Length: Light < 2m / Heavy 4m
  • Warhead: Light 80kg multi-effect unitary charge / Heavy 1,000kg class with combined high blast and penetration effects
  • Max range: Light and Heavy much greater than 100 km
