Paveway II & Paveway III
Precision laser guided bomb
Aircraft:
• Tornado GR4
• Harrier GR7
• Jaguar GR3
• Typhoon F2

Paveway II
• Paveway II is a precision laser-guided bomb which can be dropped from low or medium level and is homed onto its target by an airborne TIALD pod or from troops on the ground using a laser designator.
• The bomb’s guidance package steers the bomb onto the source of reflected laser energy.
Dimensions:
Length: 3.68m
Width: 0.42m
Weight: 546kg

Paveway III

Paveway III
• Paveway III is a larger, upgraded LGB and is designed specifically to defeat hardened targets such as protected underground command posts.
• Paveway III equips Tornado GR4 aircraft

Precision laser guided bomb
Aircraft:
• Tornado GR4
• Harrier GR7

Enhanced Paveway II
• The Enhanced Paveway II laser-guided weapon gives the RAF the ability to strike static, mobile and armoured targets accurately in all weathers and for
24-hours a day.
• EPWII is based on Paveway II.
• Once released, EPW is fully autonomous in cases where there is cloud cover over the target which may obstruct the laser and prevent weapon guidance.

Aircraft:
• Harrier GR9
• Tornado GR4
• Typhoon F2

Paveway IV

Paveway IV
• This advanced and highly accurate weapon provides the RAF with a stateof-the-art precision guided bomb.
• It replaces the Paveway II weapons and the 505kg unguided generalpurpose bombs.
• Equipped with the latest Global Positioning Guidance technology, Paveway
IV is a low-cost, all-weather, 24-hour precision bomb capable of destroying the majority of general-purpose targets while significantly minimising collateral damage.
• The first platform to receive the weapon was the Harrier GR9 with Tornado
GR4 and Typhoon F2 following.
