Paveway II Laser Guided Bomb (LGB)
 The Lockheed Martin Paveway II Laser Guided Bomb kit is a state of the art, modern system that converts "dumb gravity" bombs into precision guided munitions. The system accuracy allows target destruction while reducing collateral damage and risks to U.S. and allied ground forces. Each guidance kit consists of a computer control group (CCG), which is the front-end guidance system, plus an Air Foil Group, which includes the flight fins, which provide lift and stability. The CCG utilizes a semi-active laser seeker and pneumatically controlled guidance canards. Paveway GBU-16 kits are used on 1,000-lb. bombs, while GBU-10 and GBU-12 kits are used on 2,000-lb. and 500-lb. bombs respectively. Lockheed Martin kits are capable of employment by all air force and naval aircraft currently authorized to carry and release Paveway II LGBs. The kits are also compatible with the existing Paveway II LGB logistics infrastructure, equipment, procedures and aircrew operations. Laser Guided Bombs have been used extensively and successfully in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the war against terrorism.
