Presentation FlexibilityPrecision Guidance
Presentation FlexibilityPrecision Guidance
Universal Replacement Autopilot (URAP) derived from JDAM GCU (85K units delivered to date)
Provides improved endpoint accuracy– Self defense/close-in testing– Smaller safety corridor
Provides waypoint guidance– Precise control of flight path
Enables tracking of a moving endpoint– Maintains Position relative to shooter
Provides precise control of maneuver levels and onset rates – Max. threat replication!
Incorporates delayed boost ignition capability
