HGK (bomb)
The HGK guidance kit (HGK, Turkish: Hassas Güdüm Kiti / Precision Guidance Kit), developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, is a GPS/INS guidance kit that converts bombs range from 227 kg (500 pounds) to 907 kg (2000-lb) Mark 84 bombs into smart weapons. A laser seeker CAMGÖZ (glass eye), resistant to countermeasures and with over 315 degrees of view angle, again developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, provides guidance[2]. It enables precision strike capability in all weather conditions with long range (up to 24 km) at a dispersion of 6 m (20 ft).[3]
