Editing CRV7 (section)

==Guided version==
In 2006 Bristol started testing a new version of the CRV7, the '''CRV7-PG'''. The weapon was introduced at [[Eurosatory]] 2006.<ref>[http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/guided-hydra-rockets-program-halts-new-entries-03157/ "Guided Air-Ground Rockets: Program Halts & New Entries"], ''Defense Industry Daily'', 30 June 2009</ref> Bristol's current owners, [[Magellan Aerospace]], offered it for sale starting in 2007.

The PG version, for "precision guided", adds a seeker developed by [[Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace]] to the front of any version of an otherwise unmodified CRV7. The seeker uses a simple [[inertial guidance]] system through the midcourse and homes during the terminal approach using a [[laser designator]]. Other versions offer anti-radiation seeking or GPS guidance. The precision guided kit includes the addition of tail fins and an in-flight control system.  Combining the laser seeker with the FAT warhead produces a capable long-range [[anti-tank missile]] that is faster and much less expensive than traditional platforms like the [[AGM-114 Hellfire]].

A version of the CRV7-PG was also developed for [[special forces]] use, fired from a single tube mounted on a 6 x 6 vehicle.<ref>Milan Machala & Radek Doskocil, [http://portal.zmne.hu/download/bjkmk/bsz/bszemle2006/4/Machala-Doskocil.pdf "Contemporary Trends in Development and Modernization of Rocket Systems"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721115150/http://portal.zmne.hu/download/bjkmk/bsz/bszemle2006/4/Machala-Doskocil.pdf |date=2011-07-21 }}</ref>
