The GBU-16 Paveway II is a laser-guided bomb designed for precision targeting. It combines a standard 1,000-pound bomb with a guidance kit that includes laser seekers and control fins, allowing it to accurately strike moving or stationary targets. This weapon is primarily used by military aircraft and enhances strike capabilities while minimizing collateral damage. Developed by Raytheon, the GBU-16 is part of the broader Paveway series, which has been in service since the 1960s. It is compatible with various platforms, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon and F/A-18 Hornet, making it a versatile option for modern air forces.
