garymortimer writes "“STM Phase II is ideally suited to weaponize Shadow-class unmanned aircraft systems and counterinsurgency aircraft because STM is a mature, precise and affordable weapon,” said Dr. Thomas R. Bussing, vice president of Advanced Missiles and Unmanned Systems for Raytheon Missile Systems. “STM gives warfighters flexibility because it enables them to engage moving and static targets with minimal collateral damage.”
At 13.5 pounds and 22 inches, STM is the smallest air-launched weapon in the Raytheon portfolio.
Has both GPS/INS and digital semi-active laser guidance."
