The GK-1000: An Egyptian Guidance Kit Announced for Integration on F-16 Fighter Jets

The Information and Decision Support Center of the Egyptian Cabinet announced the possibility of integrating the GK-1000 guidance kit on F-16 fighter jets.

The GK-1000 can operate in two ways regarding mission data. Target data and coordinates can be pre-loaded before the bomb is mounted on the aircraft, allowing the munition to execute the mission using the pre-loaded data.

In the case of full integration with the aircraft via the MIL-STD-1760 interface, mission data can be exchanged between the aircraft and the munition. This allows coordinates and data to be uploaded to or passed to the GK-1000 via the aircraft's systems before launch.

The system has a declared range of approximately 100 km when launched from fighter jets, with a total weight of up to 1098 kg, and a declared accuracy with a margin of error of less than 10 meters. The system relies on INS/GPS for navigation and guidance, with a CRPA antenna for jamming resistance, and supports waypoint tracking and the ability to pre-select the angle of impact.

*** If a booster is added to it, its range could exceed 150 km, and we will be able to find a good alternative to JDAM
