The Desert Sting is a family of light weight, air platform released, precision guided, glide weapons (GGW).
Desert Sting utilizes inertial guidance augmented by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) information (GAINS). A semi-active laser (SAL) seeker configuration (with or without GNSS) further improves accuracy performance against designated targets.
