Raytheon's advanced tactical forward-looking infrared (ATFLIR) pod guided a GBU-24B/B hard-target penetrator laser-guided bomb to a direct hit in a 12 June test shot from a US Navy Boeing F/A-18D Hornet. Development-model ATFLIRs will accompany the F/A-18E Super Hornet's first carrier deployment next month.
