The Al-Battaar is a series of laser-guided bombs (LGBs) developed in Pakistan by Qaswa Industries (aka Air Weapons Complex). It is one of Pakistan's first locally developed Precision Guided Munitions (PGM).
Overview
The Al-Battaar is specifically designed to give high precision and accuracy within a promised 10CEP. While the kit is made up of several key components, they are classified into two main groups. The Computer Control Group (CCG) installed on the front of the GPB and the Airfoil Group attached to the rear end of the GPB. The Al-Battar being a laser guided weapon relies on an external source to illuminate the target to guide it. This laser illuminator could be a targeting pod onboard the launch platform, another aircraft (including drones), or a hand held Laser designator from soldiers or vehicles.
The weapon can be launched at a maximum altitude of up to 25,000ft carried as one or multiple munitions through ] and bomb-racks. With an operational range of 14km, the LGB has max carriage speed limit of Mach-1.4 and release speed limit of Mach-1.2. Other than that, they also have the ability to be delivered in low altitude as well as in level, dive, and loft bombing methods.
