DAS also unveiled its Umbani (lightening) modular guided bomb kit, which is set to commence weapon release and flight trials in 2005. Captive tests carried out earlier have validated the bomb’s on-board sensors. The Umbani uses C/A code GPS for navigation from the release point to the target, and imaging infrared, television or semi-active laser seeker heads for terminal guidance.
Extended stand-off range can be provided by fitting a wing kit and/or a booster. It is designed to allow release from low-level, using the booster and wing kit to give it the desired stand-off capability.
