Precision Guided Munitions (PGM)

Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) are advanced weapons designed to accurately hit specific targets using guidance systems such as GPS, laser, or infrared tracking. Unlike conventional bombs that rely on a general drop zone, PGMs can adapt during flight to ensure high precision, reducing collateral damage and increasing effectiveness. They are used in military operations to strike specific targets with minimal unintended damage, enhancing strategic effectiveness while minimizing risk to civilians and friendly forces. Examples include smart bombs and missile systems that can seek out and destroy enemies more accurately than traditional munitions.
