Smart weapons range from precision-guided artillery rounds and precision-guided bombs to precision-guided stand-off missiles. Anti-armor weapons comprise of anti-tank and anti-structure missiles. Lately, multi-mission capable missiles, which could be used in a variety of operations, are widely developed and produced, thus reducing logistics and providing single, easy-to-use solutions for a variety of missions. Guided munitions are bombs that are fitted with any one of the following guidance systems: inertial navigation system, global positioning system, laser beam guidance, terrain mapping, radar guidance, infrared imaging, and video guidance systems.

The proliferation of smart weapons onto multiple platforms changes the battlefield. Traditionally, smart weapons could only be integrated with a specific platform or a particular aircraft. The current scenario requires open architectures and integration across various types of platforms. Therefore smart weapons are increasingly becoming easy to integrate.

The ever evolving armor technology has forced manufacturers to develop munitions that can penetrate thicker armors on tanks and other armored vehicles; also, explosive armors have ensured protection to the platform. To counter these armors, precision munitions come with an armor piercing capability. The incendiary mix present within the munitions can pierce through the armor plating and then exploding.
