About: Griffin LGB

An Entity of Type: Weapon104565375, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Griffin Laser Guided Bomb (Griffin LGB) is a laser-guided bomb system made by Israel Aerospace Industries' MBT missile division. It is an add-on kit which is used to retrofit existing Mark 82, Mark 83, and Mark 84 and other unguided bombs, making them into laser-guided smart bombs (with the option of GPS guidance). Initial development completed in 1990. Bombs using the kit have been used on A-4, F-4E, F-15, F-16, Kfir, Super Tucano, Jaguar,Sukhoi SU 30 MKI and Atlas Cheetah D aircraft.

dbo:abstract
  • The Griffin Laser Guided Bomb (Griffin LGB) is a laser-guided bomb system made by Israel Aerospace Industries' MBT missile division. It is an add-on kit which is used to retrofit existing Mark 82, Mark 83, and Mark 84 and other unguided bombs, making them into laser-guided smart bombs (with the option of GPS guidance). Initial development completed in 1990. The Griffin conversion kit consists of a front "seeker" section and a set of steerable tailplanes. The resulting guided munition features "trajectory shaping", which allows the bomb to fall along a variety of trajectories – from a shallow angle to a vertical top attack profile. IAI claims this gives the weapon a circular error probable of 5 metres. IAI (which is owned by the Government of Israel) has sold Griffin to the Israeli Defense Forces, the Colombian Air Force, and the Indian Air Force; the system may also have been trialled by the South African Air Force. The IDF used Griffins in 1988 to attack Palestinian _targets in southern Lebanon and against Hezbollah in 1996 during Operation Grapes of Wrath. Bombs using the kit have been used on A-4, F-4E, F-15, F-16, Kfir, Super Tucano, Jaguar,Sukhoi SU 30 MKI and Atlas Cheetah D aircraft. (en)
  • Griffin Laser Guided Bomb (Griffin LGB) adalah sistem bom yang dipandu laser yang dibuat oleh divisi rudal MBT Israel Aerospace Industries. Ini adalah kit tambahan yang digunakan untuk memperbaiki Mark 82, Mark 83, dan Mark 84 yang ada, dan bom lainnya, membuatnya menjadi bom cerdas berpemandu laser (dengan pilihan panduan GPS). Perkembangan awal selesai pada tahun 1990. Kit konversi Griffin terdiri dari bagian "pencari/seeker" depan dan satu set tailplanes yang bisa dikendalikan. Panduan yang dihasilkan memiliki "lintasan pembentuk", yang memungkinkan bom jatuh di sepanjang berbagai lintasan - dari sudut dangkal hingga profil serangan vertikal. IAI mengklaim ini memberi senjata sebuah kesalahan melingkar seluas 5 meter. Bom menggunakan kit telah digunakan pada pesawat A-4, F-4E, F-15, F-16, Kfir, Super Tucano, Jaguar, dan Atlas Cheetah D.
