Summary

Description
English: An Enhanced Paveway II bomb is pictured fitted to a Royal Air Force Typhoon aircraft.

The EPWII includes a 450kg general- purpose warhead; the EPWIII includes the 900kg class penetrator warhead. Both of the EPW variants have demonstrated the same degree of accuracy in their laser mode (without the use of GAINS) as their predecessors, and highly accurate results have been achieved on trials using the GPS autonomous mode. Both LGBs have been well-received by the RAF. These weapons were used during operations in Iraq in 2003.
