ABSTRACT:
A practice bomb designed to train air crews for use of laser-guided bombs. The practice bomb has an approximately similar ballistic coefficient to that of a laser-guided bomb. A laser seeker is fixed to the body of the practice bomb within its nose section. The laser seeker has means to provide an internal signal upon target acquisition. A smoke cartridge is secured in the practice bomb to release a smoke producing chemical to the atmosphere when activated, and appropriate means are associated with the laser seeker and smoke cartridge to activate the smoke cartridge upon receipt of the internal signal from the laser seeker. Such device provides a low-cost trainer which can be used to develop some of the skills required from air crews for delivery of laser-guided bombs.
