Historical Information and Application

The GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway II is a modern guided bomb produced by the American corporation Raytheon. It is based on the classic Mark 82 bomb but is equipped with an advanced laser-GPS guidance system, enabling it to accurately strike targets under a wide range of combat conditions. The GBU-49 has been adopted by the armed forces of the United States and NATO allies, including the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. It has been used, among others, during conflicts in the Middle East—missions in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan since 2006—making it one of the primary aerial weapons of contemporary aviation.
