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.

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.

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.

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 ).

During the national tobacco litigation, a memo from Philip Morris executive Frank Gomez revealed that Ridenour ( under her maiden name of Amy Moritz ) had offered " to use any information we can provide re the current anti-tobacco onslaught ..." Ridenour wrote many op-eds attacking the filing of lawsuits by state attorneys general against tobacco firms and on tobacco policies, such as " Ironies of the Tobacco Wars ," " Federal Tobacco Lawsuit Could Pave Way for Litigation Tax on Other Industries ," " Latin America Go Home: Tobacco Policies in Foreign Countries Should Be Made by Foreign Countries, Not in U. S. Courts " and " Lawyers ' Fees in Tobacco Case Should Be Capped.

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

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.

This culminated in December 1990, with Operation Night Camel in which air crews of the F-111 evaluated the ability of aircraft to use guided munitions with the LANTIRN and Pave Tack target designation systems from medium altitude.

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.

In some cases, the basic mission code is replaced by one of the modified mission codes when it is more suitable ( e. g., MH-53 Pave Low III ).

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.
