A navigation system combining Global Positioning System (GPS) for absolute positioning and Inertial Navigation System (INS) for dead reckoning, providing continuous and accurate location and orientation data.
A guided bomb is a munition that uses a guidance system to modify its flight path in real-time to ensure accuracy.
A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.
Guidance method where a target is illuminated by a laser, and a weapon's seeker homes in on the reflected beam to achieve precision strikes.
A stand-off capability refers to the ability of a weapon to be deployed at a distance from the target, typically to enhance aircraft or launch platform survivability.
