Air-to-Surface Missile Market Overview

摘要

The air-to-surface missile cate-gory has been one of the most dy-namic market segments in recent years. Several technological trends have been driving this, notably the integration of GPS Global Position-ing Satellite navigation systems into guided bombs and stand-off weap-ons. The excellent performance of precision guided munitions in Opera-tion Desert Storm, the 1999 Kosovo air campaign, Afghanistan in 2001, Iraq in 2003, and Libya in 2011 will continue to be an important stimulus in this market.
