| dc.description.abstract | This report gives an overview and a discussion of the development and utilisation of long-range precision guided
munitions in recent military operations – starting with Desert Storm in 1991. The open literature has been reviewed and
documents containing information on the usage of precision guided munitions have been studied. The most important
subjects considered in this study are which kind of targets where attacked, which kind of precision weapons where
available, the performance of various weapons against different type of targets, platforms and sensors used, and the
performance of the command and control system.
