The AS-30 was an air-to-ground missiles built by Nord Aviation. It was a precision attack weapon designed to be used against high-value targets like bridges and bunkers. The AS-30 was essentially a larger version of their earlier AS-20 design and initially used that weapon’s guidance system which required the pilot to track the weapon visually and correct it’s path using a small joystick while also flying their own aircraft. All such MCLOS systems proved very difficult to use in practice.
