Paragon

摘要

On March 2, Lockheed Martin announced its Dual Mode Plus laser-guided bomb will be named Paragon. The weapon uses an inertial navigation system and all-weather moving-target capability with increased standoff range, and maintains the same physical dimensions, mass properties and outer mould line as Lockheed Martin's combat-proven laser-guided bomb. According to Lockheed Martin, the Paragon weapon has been successfully integrated on the F/A-18 Hornet, although flight testing continues and flight tests on the F-16 are planned for the second quarter of 2017.
