some low tech things come with creativity and innovations can
be very powerful.
ST Engg also recognises that not all
war fighting solutions need advanced,
sophisticated technology – nor can war
fighters afford to in many cases. There are
scores of existing legacy systems whose
combat potential can be improved through
the fusion of defence technology that is now
available.
For instance, weapon stations for
ground vehicles based on existing 40 mm
automatic grenade launcher can be adapted
with an air-bursting ammunition kit and fire
control system which will at least quadruple
its effectiveness.
Gravity bombs can be
transformed into precision-guided
munitions with add-on devices which
integrate a Global Positioning System and
Inertial Measurement Unit with a range
extension device for conventional
ordnance.---EOQ

I must admit that the Range Ext Kit may come from Lockeed Martin
and ST get a license to make it!!
