Guided munition refers to modern weapons equipped with guidance systems that allow them to accurately locate, track and strike their targets. Unlike traditional unguided bombs, these munitions can adjust their trajectory during flight, ensuring maximum precision and minimizing collateral damage. Today, they are widely used across land, air and naval platforms, offering significant advantages such as reduced operational cost, increased accuracy and enhanced mission effectiveness.

Technically, guided munitions use systems such as laser guidance, GPS/INS navigation, infrared (IR) seekers, and radar-based guidance. These technologies enable the munition to track moving targets, perform long-range precision strikes and destroy critical objectives without exposing the launching platform to direct threat. Integrated into UAVs, fighter jets, ships and ground systems, guided munitions form a core component of modern military firepower.
