New Airborne Weapon from IAI
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveils the MLGB (Medium Range Laser Guided Bomb) in the Paris Air Show (June 20-26, 2011).
The MLGB is capable of dual mode guidance: homing in on a target via a laser beam or feeding coordinates into its GPS mechanism. The bomb is designed to attack both stationary and mobile objects. Mission
parameters are transmitted to the weapon prior to its release from the aircraft. Once in flight, it corrects its path until final approach to target.
The MLGB can be dropped from fighter planes or light attack aircraft. Weighing 115 kilos and 170 cm long, it's especially suited for tasks demanding minimal collateral damage thanks to its high degree of accuracy and relatively small warhead. In addition, MLGB has a multi-purpose fuze that can be used above the target, on the target, or to penetrate the target.
