General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS) has successfully demonstrated a lightweight, precision guided weapon that could potentially be launched from tactical-class unmanned aerial vehicles (TUAV), such as the RQ-7 Shadow. Transformed into a precision guided bomb, a standard 81mm mortar bomb is applied with a smart guidance kit, replacing its standard fuze. The guidance section employs GD's patented Roll-Controlled Fixed-Canard (RCFC) system, guiding the bomb to impact precisely on a pre-designated target.

Artillery shells can be dropped from a tactical-level unmanned air vehicle and navigate precisely to a target, General Dynamics has announced. The company's Ordnance and Tactical Systems (OTS) unit says a modified 81mm artillery shell can be released from a TUAV using a proprietary "Smart Rack" carriage system. General Dynamics has not identified the aircraft involved in the demonstration. However, its OTS division has partnered Elbit Systems to offer the tactical-level Storm aircraft for the US market. The design is adapted from Elbit's Hermes 90 air vehicle. The 81mm artillery shell is adapted with a patented roll controlled fixed canard guidance kit, the company says. This includes a GPS-based navigation system. General Dynamics says it developed the new weapon with the needs of the US Army, US Marine Corps and Special Forces in mind.
