Hill's Armory Precision Guided Bomb 475mm 1000kg payload (PGB-475-1000)

The PGB-475-1000 is a fairly massive bomb, generally being the alternative to a pack of PGB-190-100's, it is capable of delivering complete destruction to entire buildings reinforced or not. Generally equipped with internal and GPS guidance, sometimes added with anywhere from one to three seekers for near guaranteed hits on target.

Size: The bomb is 475mm in diameter and 4 meters in length.

Mass: The bomb weighs approximately 1200kg total.

Maximum Deployment Speed: The PGB-475-1000 has a maximum deployment speed of mach 2, with its winglets only fully extending and maneuvering at subsonic speeds.

Range: The PGB-475-1000 has a varying range dependent upon height and speed of deployment, but from near sonic speeds, at 1000 meters, it has a maximum range of approximately 3.5km.

Payload: The PGB-475-1000 has a maximum payload of 1000kg of various warhead types.

Air to Air: The PGB-475-1000 like any other bomb is intended for anti-surface use, this has generally resulted in near maximum effectiveness in use of the munitions. It is NOT recommended to attempt to drop this munition onto another air based target despite a proximity or timed fuse being present. Yes, it has been done once when a Kraken Iteration 3 managed to spontaneously evaporate hit a moving helicopter that was being marked with a laser, but that does not mean it should be repeated, much less attempted again.

The variants are defined by the following letters after the second number. The first group of letters denotes the warhead, as the second group indicates the seeker variant, the third group, if present, indicates additional information. This allows for a quick understanding of the warhead and seeker in field.

The PGB has enough variants that it would be easier described by giving the potential variables rather than each variant, the designations will be given with the variable. Example: PGB-475-1000-K-IRLT

Internal - I: This indicates an internal guidance system, keeping track of the movement of the bomb as it falls. Example: PGB-475-1000-xxx-I

Thermal - T: This indicates an infrared imaging system to seek out sources of heat. Example: PGB-475-1000-xxx-T

Anti-Radiation - AR: This indicates a passive radar, or even an active radar in passive mode. This will seek out sources of radar. Example: PGB-475-1000-xxx-AR

Laser - L: This indicates an electro-optical laser seeking device capable of being programmed to seek out lasers of a certain frequency. Example: PGB-475-1000-xxx-L

Kinetic - K: This indicates a kinetic warhead being employed. Example: PGB-475-1000-HEAT-xxx

Blast Fragmentation - BF: This indicates a simple blast fragmentation warhead being employed. Example: PGB-475-1000-BF-xxx

Thermobaric - T: This indicates a thermobaric warhead capable of lighting entire buildings on fire and destroying large groups of infantry and unarmored, or open cabin vehicles. Example: PGB-475-1000-T-xxx

Tandem Penetrating Blast Fragmentation - TPBF: This indicates triple tandem warheads meant for penetrating considerable amounts of dirt and concrete for bunker busting. The leading warhead being a 100kg kinetic penetrator, followed by a 200kg blast fragmentation warhead which itself is followed by a 600kg high explosive warhead designed to propel the first two warheads on contact with the ground.
