Home > Paveway

Paveway has been in development from 1968 and is currently produced by Raytheon. The system involves fitting of a laser guidance unit and a rear wing unit to standard "dumb" bombs. In this way air forces are able to convert their current stocks of unguided bombs into precision muntions.

The Paveway series of bombs includes:

• GBU-10 Paveway II with a Mk 84 2000 lb (909 kg) warhead
• GBU-12 Paveway II with a Mk 82 500 lb (227 kg) warhead
• GBU-16 Paveway II with a Mk 83 1000 lb (454 kg) warhead
• GBU-24 Paveway III with a Mk 84 2000 lb (909 kg) warhead
• Paveway IV 500 lb (227 kg) warhead
