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
