There you go then!

Anything with an Electro Optical control would 
work great. Before we had GPS guided bombs there 
were optically guided missiles that an operator 
controlled and guided to target. I'm sure some 
crusty old AirForce Occifer would realize such if 
needed. Of course HOBO was a strap on for 250s 
and larger, there were other Optically guided 
weapons that would work. In support of SG teams, 
a laser guided system would work great.

I hadn't thought about the problem of GPS with 
Tomohawk, but the Inertial/TerCom guidance would 
work.

Avenger is pretty big actually. It does a handy 
job of making an otherwise stable offroad 
platform very unstable on side slopes. For now 
ManPads are the thing, though a means of firing 
an Off Axis guided SAM would be great for through 
gate air defense.
