The Winged Guidance Kit (KGK) was designed to transform conventional free-fall general-purpose bombs into cost-effective, long-range stand-off precision munitions. In modern air operations, aircraft survivability is a priority; therefore, engaging targets from outside enemy air defense envelopes is critical. KGK directly addresses this requirement.

Operational Purpose and Role

KGK enables air forces to conduct long-range precision strikes against:

• Fixed and semi-fixed ground targets
• Logistics facilities
• Ammunition depots
• Radar and command centers
• Airfield infrastructure

By providing stand-off capability, aircraft can release the weapon outside the engagement range of hostile air defense systems.

Doctrine and Concept of Operations

KGK operates within a network-centric warfare environment. Target coordinates are uploaded through mission planning systems prior to release. When launched from high altitude, the system can achieve up to approximately 60 nautical miles of range; from low altitude, approximately 20 nautical miles.

Its ability to operate in all weather conditions, day and night, without reliance on electro-optical seekers, ensures high operational flexibility.

System Architecture

KGK consists of three main components:

• Winged Mid-Body Module – Deployable wings significantly increase glide ratio and range.
• Tail Control Section – Aerodynamic control surfaces provide course correction.
• Guidance Unit (INS/GPS) – Integrated Inertial Navigation System and Global Positioning System.

MIL-STD-1760 compatibility allows integration with digitally interfaced combat aircraft.

Survivability and Protection Approach

• Stand-off release outside threat envelopes
• Passive guidance (no active radar emission)
• High-altitude release maximizing glide performance

In GPS-denied environments, INS provides backup navigation. However, accuracy may degrade over time in pure INS mode. Detailed anti-jamming specifications are not publicly disclosed.
