Development Report
We have now completed the flight dynamics research needed for the new weapons and we are close to completing the cockpit weathered textures.
We are also completing work on the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) and the integration of the Targeting Pod projection window over landmasses and buildings.
GBU-54
Laser-Guided JDAM
A low-cost guidance kit that combines combat-proven JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) GPS/INS-based (Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) navigation with a laser seeker achieving outstanding accuracy. Unlike the GBU-31 and GBU-38, the GBU-54 can engage moving targets.
AGR-20
APKWS
The 2.75 diameter, 35-pound, laser-guided rocket is known as the fixed-wing Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II. The rocket has proven effective in combat operations over Afghanistan.
We look forward to your feedback on these new weapon systems.
Thank you again for your passion and support,
Kind regards,
Eagle Dynamics Team
