Remora – Guided Bomb for Tactical UAS

Spotted in the exhibit booth at AUSA belonging to the Rapid Response/Irregular Warfare Directorate — a division of the Office of The Secretary of Defence — sat a new unmanned aircraft called Remora.

It is in fact a guided bomb, which is designed to be dropped by another tactical UAS. It was part of an OSD-funded demonstration called precision acquisition and weaponised system (PAWS). The Remora appears to be the outcome of this Boeing miniature munition awarded to Boeing in 2009.

This slightly fuzzy video shows how the weapon is designed to function:
