Smart bomb under development

The research and development branch of the Indonesian Ministry of Defence has a smart bomb kit programme in development that turns standard unguided warheads into precision-guided weapons with a stand-off capability.

The bomb comprises a standard warhead fitted with a range extension kit with pop-out wings, a new tail section with control fins, GPS and inertial guidance systems, and an interchangeable nose section. Nose options are a ballast nose for basic GPS/inertial guidance, or infrared or TV seekers. 

The 125kg weapon can be launched from 20,000ft at speeds from 160kts to 500kts, with a maximum range of approximately 20km. Initial drop trials are scheduled to begin next year.
