Design and Development of Self-propelled strap-on range extension and guidance kit for 100 to 120 kg bomb with EOIR terminal guidance to enhance the range and accuracy of delivered weapon
Existing 100-120 kg bomb available in IAF inventory are categorized as dumb bombs which has limited launch range and accuracy. To achieve the desired effect while delivering these bombs, the carrier aircraft has to go very close to the target which compromises the safety of platform and pilot.
Self propelled strap-on range extension and guidance kit which can be fitted on the existing 100-120 kg bombs can boost the launch range and accuracy of bomb.
Essential parameters
1. Range > 200 km (For launch altitude of 5 km and speed 0.9 M).
2. EO/IR terminal guidance with suitable midcourse guidance. Adequate anti-jamming and anti-spoofing measures needs to be provisioned.
3. Kit should be compatible with existing bomb rack of aircraft available in IAF.
4. The accuracy of weapon should be CEP < 05 m. (desirable CEP < 3 m)
5. Ease of assembly, maintenance and handling.
6. Minimum 15 years of service life.
Desirable parameters
Simple test equipment for GO and NO-GO results to operators during preparation of weapon and other test equipment to check module wise serviceability as per maintenance philosophy.
