FIELD: armaments and ammunition. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed air bomb incorporates an antenna with a servo drive to provide for an optimum operation of satellite navigation system components, the antenna array is directed towards zenith at whatever trajectory variations when the pitching angle varies from 0° to minus 90°. The air bomb aerodynamic structure realizes a minor static stability which allows low-power steering mechanisms with a small-area aerodynamic rudder to deviate the bomb by major angles of attack thus providing its high maneuverability. The bomb guidance system generates curved hitting trajectories to provided high accuracy and efficiency. The differential error antenna allows a final accuracy of 3 to 5 m. ^ EFFECT: precise guidance of air bomb at curbed trajectories at invariable grouping of satellites. ^ 3 dwg
