Walleye Guided Weapon
The Walleye guided weapon does not contain a
propulsion system as do guided missiles. It is included
in this chapter because it contains a guidance system, a
control system, externally mounted control surfaces,
and is listed in the Air Launched Guided Missiles and
Components section of Navy Ammunition Logistic
Code TW010-AA-ORD-010, NAVAIR 11-1-116A.
The Walleye guided weapon system (fig. 3-16) is
designed to deliver a self-guided, high-explosive
weapon from an attack aircraft to a surface target. The
Walleye weapon is issued to the fleet as an AUR. The
only assembly required at the organizational
maintenance level is the installation of the wings and
fins.
