| Raytheon Company and the French Air Force completed a demonstration of a penetrator variant of a Paveway™ GBU-50 from a Mirage 2000D multirole fighter jet. The weapon met all flight objectives and scored a direct hit against a reinforced concrete slab. “Raytheon is committed to delivering GBU-50's unique capabilities to our French customer. Raytheon offers a proven, cost effective dual mode solution that is fully compatible with the MK-84 and BLU-109,” said Mike Jarrett, Vice President of Air Warfare Systems. Each Enhanced Paveway™ II guidance and control section is compatible with warheads ranging from the 250 pound MK-81 to the 2,000 pound MK-84 and BLU-109. Offering a range of smart fuze settings from air burst to post impact, along with selectable terminal impact angles and angle of attack control, the GBU-50 takes the capabilities of both the MK-84 and BLU-109 to a new level.
