New 12-pound guided bomb flies for first time

December 16-31, 2011

Raytheon Company has completed captive carry tests of its Small Tactical Munition Phase II configuration, paving the way for flight tests. “Raytheon developed STM Phase II to provide the warfighter a weapon for Shadow class UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) and counterinsurgency aircraft,” said Bob Francois, Vice President of Advanced Missiles and Unmanned Systems for Raytheon Missile Systems. “STM is a mature, precise and affordable weapon and gives the warfighter flexibility to engage moving and static targets with minimal collateral damage.”

At 12 pounds and 22 inches, STM is the smallest air-launched weapon in the Raytheon portfolio.
