H-2 SOW

The H-2 SOW (Stand-Off Weapon) is a precision-guided glide bomb manufactured by NESCOM and deployed by the Pakistan Air Force, capable of striking targets at stand-off range.

It has a terminal guidance system based on an infra-red imaging seeker which identifies the target during the final stage of flight.

Designed to hit targets out to 60 km, the bomb may be able to evade radar.

The H-2 is stated to have entered service with the Pakistan Air Force in 2003.

A television-guided version of the H-2 was launched at a mock target from a distance of 60 km by Mirage III/5 fighters of the Pakistan Air Force during a firepower demonstration on 6 April 2010, marking the first phase of the Pakistan Air Force exercise High Mark 2010.
