MBDA Laser Guided Zuni Rocket

The Laser Guided Zuni Rocket is a precision weapon made by upgrading the unguided 5-inch (127 mm) Zuni folding-fin aircraft rocket with a new WGU-58/B guidance and control section fitted to the front of the rocket and warhead, which gives it semi-active laser homing. The North American division of MBDA is its only manufacturer. It fits the same four-round LAU-10 launcher as unguided Zunis, needs only a 28 volt firing pulse and a laser designator, and is compatible with aircraft such as the AV-8B Harrier, the F/A-18 Hornet, AH-1 Cobra helicopters and the P-3 Orion. It was developed with the Weapons Division of the US Navy's Air Warfare Center at China Lake, was tested against stationary and moving targets in 2009 and had a live-fire warhead test in September 2010, and it appears on the US Marine Corps Aviation Weapons Roadmap and Plan.
