The AASM “Hammer” is a new generation all-weather smart weapon with an extended stand-off capacity. Based on European technologies, it is set to revolutionize air-to-surface employment with its family of warheads and guidance kits.

The accuracy of the Inertial/GPS variant is the one of the GPS and can be further improved with infrared or laser terminal guidance variants. Thanks to its powerful “automatic target recognition” technology, the AASM “Hammer” has the ability to actually hit the bull’s eye.

New standards for Air OperationsWith the AASM “Hammer”, stand-off means more than range: it offers an unmatched fir-ing envelope, from high to very low altitude, with a wide off-boresight capability to fit the most demanding tactical situations. The AASM “Hammer” helps taking full advantage of the entire firing envelope, through its Fire & Forget design and its multi-target capability.The AASM “Hammer” is also fully flexible to optimize the desired military effect on the target. In addition to the use of a dedicated warhead, the angle of impact can be set up till a fully vertical dive.

“The AASM Hammer is the force multiplier of any aircraft that needs fire power”

Modularity, a concept for a familyThe AASM “Hammer” is made up of a guidance kit and a range extension kit fitted on a standard bomb body of the Mk80 series or the likes. This bomb body may be general purpose (Mk82, BLU-111) or penetration (CBEMS).

Flexibility, an ever-increasing requirementCapable of Close Air Support missions as well as deep strike missions, the AASM “Hammer” offers full flexibility, to be completed with data link capability on-going development.

On the cutting edge of technology, for conventional deep strikesThe AASM “Hammer” draws on Sagem’s compre-hensive expertise for inertial components and optronics: • Hemispheric Resonating Gyro• Inertial/GPS hybridization• Strap-down infrared imagers and associated algorithms. Technical specifications

• Range of 60km+ from high-altitude, 15km+ from low-altitude• Fire & Forget• Multi-target simultaneous attack• Controlled velocity and angle of attack on impact• High resistance to GPS unavailability, jamming and target location errors • MIL-STD-1553/1760 interfaces• On single, twin or triple store adaptors• “Zero-maintenance” to reduced life cycle costs

• AASM kits associated with Mk82 warheads:- SBU-38: INS/GPS guidance- SBU-64: INS/GPS/IR guidance - SBU-54: INS/GPS/laser guidance

• Extended stand-off• Multi-target capability• Moving target capability
