👉 A directed weapon, often referred to as a guided weapon, is a type of weapon system designed to deliver a payload with high precision and accuracy over a specific target area. Unlike conventional weapons, which rely on the operator's aim and sighting systems, directed weapons incorporate advanced technologies such as GPS, laser guidance, or infrared sensors to ensure the weapon's trajectory is accurately targeted. This precision allows for reduced collateral damage, increased effectiveness in military operations, and minimized risk to friendly forces. Examples include cruise missiles, smart bombs, and missile defense systems, each utilizing sophisticated guidance mechanisms to hit their intended targets reliably.
