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.

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

Pave Tack

The Ford Aerospace AN / AVQ-26 Pave Tack is an electro-optical targeting pod developed by the United States Air Force ( USAF ) for military attack aircraft.

Pave Tack was developed in the late 1970s, and was initially used by the USAF McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II and General Dynamics F-111F Aardvark strike aircraft.

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.

The Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) purchased ten Pave Tack pods in 1980 for its F-111 fleet.

The age of the Pave Tack system has made for a maintenance and reliability headache, since many of its parts are obsolete and no longer available.

The Pave Knife was superseded by the later Pave Spike and Pave Tack systems, and is no longer in service.

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.

The mission of the 23d Wing is to organize, train and employ combat-ready A-10, HC-130P / N Combat King and HH-60 Pave Hawk aircraft and flight crews, as well as pararescuemen and force protection assets.

Pave or PAVE is sometimes used as an acronym for precision avionics vectoring equipment ; literally, electronics for controlling the speed and direction of aircraft.

Laser guidance is a form of Pave.

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's nominal range is 20 miles ( 32 km ), although effective range is considerably shorter.

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 ).

An Air Combat Command ( ACC )- gained combat search and rescue organization, the 920 RQW is the only rescue wing in the Air Force Reserve, operating the HC-130P / N " King " variant of the C-130 Hercules and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter, ready for worldwide deployment.

It's mission is providing Air Force helicopter flight training for all undergraduate pilots proceeding to flying careers in the Air Force ’ s UH-1N Huey, HH-60G Pave Hawk or CV-22 Osprey fleets.

The flying organizations within Tenth Air Force include fighter units equipped with the F-16 ( Fighting Falcon ) and A-10 ( Thunderbolt II ); fighter associate program detachments equipped with the F-15 ( Eagle ) and F-16 ; associate flying training units equipped with the F-22 ( Raptor ); associate units flying Predator, Reaper and Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ; air rescue units equipped with the HC-130 ( Hercules ) and the HH-60 ( Pave Hawk ) helicopter ; a bomb wing equipped with the B-52 ( Stratofortress ); an airborne warning and control associate unit equipped with the E-3 ( Sentry ); and a special operations unit equipped with the MC-130E ( Combat Talon ).

The Laser Target Designator retrieved in the contact showed that the Royal Marines were seeking to destroy the Argentine bunkers on Mount Harriet with 1, 000-pound Pave Way Laser Guided Bombs.

Dingo also went on tour with Pave Maijanen on the keyboards.

The group left Capitol and signed with the then-NY-based indie label of John Szuch's ( now based in Charlotte, NC ) Deep Elm Records ( Nada Surf, Brandtson, Pave the Rocket and Camber ) to release the critically acclaimed " Cattlemen Don't ".

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 ).

The last USAF Pave Tacks were withdrawn with the retirement of the F-111 in 1996.

The 48th Rescue Squadron served at Holloman AFB on 1 May 1993 with its six Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters.

Aircrews assigned to fly the C-130 train at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, while aircrews assigned to fly MC-130 Combat Talon I / II, Combat Shadow, and HC-130 aircraft will take initial follow-on training at Little Rock followed by additional follow-on training at a colocated site with UH-1N Twin Huey and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews and CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor crews at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico.

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 ).

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 Ford Aerospace AN / AVQ-10 Pave Knife was an early targeting pod developed by the USAF to designate and guide laser-guided bombs.

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.

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

The original, comprehensive METRO regional plan was defeated in a vote by suburbanites who seemed to view the problem not as one of pollution, transit, sprawl, or lack of planning: in what some Seattleites referred to as the " Pave the Lake " strategy, they just wanted more bridges across Lake Washington.
