HGK (bomb)

The HGK guidance kit (HGK, Turkish: Hassas Güdüm Kiti / Precision Guidance Kit), developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, is a GPS/INS guidance kit that converts bombs range from 227 kg (500-lb) to 907 kg (2000-lb) Mark 80-series munitions into smart bombs. A CAMGÖZ (glass eye) laser seeker, resistant to countermeasures and with over 315 degrees of view angle, again developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, provides guidance.^[3] It enables precision strike capability in all weather conditions with long range (up to 24 km) at a dispersion of 6 m (20 ft).^[4]
