Elbit has developed the Opher... terminal guidance kit for Mk82 and Mk83 bombs.... It uses a passive IR seeker, thus requiring no target illumination, giving "launch and leave" capability and allowing its use without an interface by single-seat aircraft. 2, record 15, English, - terminal%20guidance%20kit

A new air-launched missile will be the first weapon ever with a built-in ability to seek out and destroy enemy armor. The missile, called Wasp because it would be launched in swarms of 10 or more, will allow an attacking aircraft to withdraw before exposing itself to heavy enemy air defenses. Initially it will be programmed to fly to a target area. A terminal guidance seeker then will take over, identifying the armor and steering the missile to an individual target. 1, record 18, English, - terminal%20guidance%20seeker

C'est un nouveau missile aéroporté qui sera la première arme dotée de la capacité intrinsèque de rechercher et de détruire les matériels blindés ennemis. Ce missile, baptisé wasp (guêpe) car il sera lancé par essaims de 10 ou davantage, permettra à un aéronef attaquant de s'éloigner avant d'être exposé au feu des armes lourdes de défense aérienne ennemies. Au départ, il sera programmé pour se diriger sur la zone d'objectifs et un autodirecteur de guidage terminal prendra ensuite la relève, identifiant le matériel blindé et dirigeant le missile sur une cible donnée. 1, record 18, French, - autodirecteur%20de%20guidage%20terminal
