The Lockheed Martin AN / AAS-35 ( V ) Pave Penny is a laser spot tracker carried by US Air Force attack aircraft and fighter-bombers to enable them to track a laser spot on the ground ( it does not produce a laser beam itself, so the aircraft cannot launch and guide laser-guided bombs against ground targets without additional hardware ).

Pave Penny was developed in the mid-1970s based on the earlier AN / AVQ-11 Pave Sword laser tracker used on a few USAF F-4 Phantom II during the Vietnam War, miniaturized using solid-state electronics.

These notably included the BLU-31 / B and Mk 36 air-dropped mines, BLU-43 / B and BLU-44 / B landmine system ( Dragontooth ), the BLU-72 / B fuel-air explosive ( Pave Pat ), and the BLU-52 / A chemical bomb ( filled with bulk CS-2 powder ).

Pave, paired with other words, also names laser systems that designate targets for LGBs, for example Pave Penny, Pave Spike, Pave Tack and Pave Knife, and for specialized military aircraft, such as AC-130U Pave Spectre, MH-53 Pave Low, and HH-60 Pave Hawk.

* Pave Knife

A Pave Knife on a 435th Fighter Training Squadron | 435th TFS McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II | F-4D in the Vietnam War, 1973.

Pave Knife was developed in 1969 to replace the original, essentially improvised Airborne Laser Designator ( ALD ).

Pave Knife was a roughly banana-shaped external pod, weighing about 550 kg ( 1, 200 lb ), containing a steerable laser and closed-circuit television camera.

When Pave Knife was sent out for bid by the Air Force, it was for a firm fixed-price type of contract, it involved design, development, and manufacture of one prototype, and also a quick reaction project.

Pave Knife was used by F-4 Phantom II and A-6 Intruder aircraft in the attack role.

The Pave Knife was superseded by the later Pave Spike and Pave Tack systems, and is no longer in service.

Primarily, this resulted from the upgrade to the Pave Tack, a laser guided weapons delivery system.

Unlike the LRMTS ( laser ranger and marked target seeker ) systems common to European aircraft, or the more sophisticated ASQ-228 ATFLIR, TIALD, and LANTIRN designators, Pave Penny does not contain a laser.

Pave Penny can recognize specific laser designation signals based on pre-determined four-digit codes encoded into the laser pulse, allowing it to seek out particular targets and ignore others ( to avoid, for example, several aircraft hitting the same target ).

The simplest spot trackers ( like the Pave Penny pod ) have no laser at all, just a laser sensor.

An A-10 Thunderbolt II's Pave Penny pod.

The Pave Penny pod was used by USAF A-7D Corsair II aircraft, fuselage-mounted beneath the engine intake, and the A-10 Thunderbolt II, mounted on an external pylon designed specifically for the pod ( see photo top right ).

Pave Tack is a large installation, with the pod alone weighing some 629 kg ( 1, 385 lb ) and measuring 4, 220 mm ( 166 inches ) in length.

On the F-4, the size of the pod meant that it had to be carried on the centerline station in place of the standard drop tank, and it imposed a substantial drag penalty ; crews referred to it as " Pave Drag ," and it was generally unpopular.

The F-111C and F-111F carried the Pave Tack pod on a rotating carriage in its internal weapons bay, retracting it when not in use to reduce drag and protect the sensors from damage.

A special conference of scholars on Pius XII on the 50th anniversary of his death was held in Rome on 15 – 17 September 2008, by Pave the Way Foundation, a nonsectarian organization founded by Gary Krupp, a Jewish American, which promotes interfaith cooperation.

On 16 June 2009, the Pave the Way Foundation announced that it would release of 2, 300 pages of documents in Avellino, Italy, dating from 1940 to 1945, which the organization claims show that Pius XII " worked diligently to save Jews from Nazi tyranny "; the organization's founder, Krupp has accused historians of harboring " private agendas " and having " let down " the public.

On 17 September 2009, Pave the Way Foundation nominated Pius XII to be listed as Righteous Among the Nations at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.
