Article Abstract:
Military strategists are only beginning to appreciate the value of precision guided weapons. This could be because air forces have only exploited a small part of the technology's capability. Technological advances in the areas of guidance, sensors and impact have made precision guided weapons even more lethal and accurate. Overall, precision guided weapons provide military planners the ideal weapon that offer the best results for the least cost.
