AASM

The AASM is a modernization kit for existing free-fall unguided aerial bombs like the U.S. JDAM, which are already used by Ukrainian tactical aviation.

The kit consists of a front section with a guidance system and flaps, and a rear section with an accelerator designed to extend the range.

France has two types of bomb kits in service: Hammer-250 for Mk. 82 bombs weighing 227 kg and Hammer-1000 for the 908 kg Mk. 84.

The nose of the AASM upgrade kit can be equipped with three guidance systems: inertial with GPS correction, inertial with thermal imaging GNSS, or similar with a laser beam guidance system.

The first type of system, according to the developer, has a hit accuracy of 10 meters, while the latter two have an accuracy of only 1 meter.
