Raytheon's Griffin missile makes quiet gains with US military

08/09/10
The US Air Force plans to launch production of a new Raytheon missile to equip its weaponised unmanned air vehicles with a precision-guided projectile featuring a smaller but still potent blast radius.

Although less than one-third the size of Lockheed Martin's AGM-114 Hellfire, the Griffin is among of a new class of miniature, precision-guided weapons rising in demand during an era when aerial strikes on insurgents carries the risk of killing innocent civilians.

There's your problem. Our enemies employ tactics to kill as many as they can, hopefully innocent bystanders. We however employ the touchy feely kinder gentler approach. God forbid if we kill his driver, we just want to take out the one guy sitting in the rear passenger side seat.
