The GBU-24 Paveway III is a precision-guided bomb used by the United States military and its allies. It is designed to enhance the accuracy of airstrikes against high-value targets, such as bunkers and fortified structures. The bomb features a laser guidance system, allowing it to home in on targets illuminated by a laser designator. This weapon is part of the broader Paveway series of guided bombs, which have been in service since the Vietnam War. The GBU-24 is typically deployed from various aircraft, including the F-15E Strike Eagle and B-1B Lancer, making it a versatile tool in modern aerial warfare.
