StandOff & PGM Weapons

The MBDA competitor of these is being developed in the UAE under an offset program

18 per Rafale = flight of six Rafales can launch 108

As well as being developed for use in Euro 6th gen fighter IWB

18 per Rafale means it's a relatively small weapon, though. Not larger than ~500lb Mk80 bomb size

Been very quiet for a long time on them. Obviously the gliding approach has been very much validated by Ukraine....but I always felt that SmartGlider Heavy was a little unambitious as a concept. They should have done a European JSOW. Essentially an LO 'shape' that could be configured for different payloads with modularity baked in.
