LRGB Gaurav MFG. by Adani Group

During the 2nd conference on Military Ammunition 'AMMO INDIA 2022' an interesting image surfaced where we can see that the Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande visited Adani Defence & Aerospace pavilion where he was observing the LRGB Gaurav.

These LRGB bombs are medium range precisions guided weapon, meant for engagement of targets from outside the range of standard anti-aircraft defenses, thereby increasing aircraft survivability and minimising friendly losses.

There are only few selected countries possessing the capability of indigenously developed the inertial guided bombs & India is one of them.

DRDO LRGB

Talking about DRDO’s Long Range Bomb (LRB), it is an inertial guided bombs which is an upgrade from existing laser-guided weapons having limitations, such as range of delivery from the target and susceptibility to environmental conditions.

The inertial guidance system is an electronic system that continuously monitors the position, velocity and acceleration of a vehicle, usually a submarine, missile, or aircraft, and provides navigational data or control without the need for communicating with a base station.

When it is installed in a bomb, the system can help navigate the bomb to its designated target by continuously providing updated navigation inputs. Such systems have the unique ability to perform without depending on external inputs such as ground-based navigation aids as well as GPS. It does not have an engine of its own but runs on the inertia imparted to it by the mother aircraft.

Variants: Gaurav & Gautham

There are at present two variants of the DRDO Glide Bomb which includes Gaurav and Gautham.

Gaurav

Gaurav is the winged version of glide bomb having range of upto 100KM and weighs upto 1000KG. There are three versions of this bomb depending upon the warhead it carries which includes 1) pre-Fragmented warhead 2) Penetration cum Blast warhead and 3) Tandem- Pre-Fragmented – warhead.

Gautham

Gautham is the non-winged version having a range of 30 km and in future its range will be enhanced to 100 km. It weighs 550KG. There are two versions of this bomb: 1) Gautam Pre-Fragmented warhead 2) Gautam Penetration cum Blast warhead.

Talking about accuracy, these LRGBs have Circular Error probability of less than 15m. For navigation these bombs use Inertial navigation system with GPS or NavIC satellite guidance.
