A series of enhancements to Raytheon's Paveway IV precision-guided bomb are being readied for test, with a version carrying its own GPS anti-jammer likely to fly late this year or early in 2014.
The anti-jamming equipment will be retrofitable to Paveway II bombs and other munitions.
Other new Paveway IV upgrades will expand the weapon's launch acceptance region, allowing the bomb to be released earlier in a mission, along with a wider field-of-view laser seeker which is already in flight testing, and a new penetrating warhead. The Paveway IV will also be capable of striking moving targets.
