We produce two lines of drop-launched, unpropelled, precision-guidance kit systems. These air-to-surface kits incorporate aerodynamic tail control to guide down-range, cross-range, and back-range directioning. The Thunder system provides guided delivery for NATO STD warheads of MK81, MK82 and MK84, while the Desert Sting system provides delivery for warheads ranging from 5kg to 35kg.
Thunder
System
Designed to provide guided delivery of standard MK81 (P31), MK82 (P32) and MK84 (P4) GP aerial munitions, the Thunder System represents a cost-effective, short-range guided bomb kit system that combines an inertial measurement unit and global navigational satellite system measurements to guide the system to a pre-programmed target coordinates. A semi-active laser seeker can optionally be fitted to enhance precision.
The Thunder kit is offered in P31, P32 and P4 configurations.

Desert
StinG
SYSTEM
The Desert Sting system provides a high-altitude drop-launched, un-propelled guided kit system. Offering 100, 129 and 176 calibre options, Desert Sting uses aerodynamic tail control to reach the target. An inertial measurement unit and global navigational satellite system measurements guide the system to the pre-programmed target coordinates. A semi-active laser seeker can optionally be fitted to enhance precision.
These systems offer the flexibility of configuration with multiple fuze options, including impact, height-of-burst (HOB) and proximity.
