What is the delivery profile for a PGM?

Delivery profile describes the aircraft’s flight path and release geometry used when delivering a weapon. For a precision guided munition, you release in level flight at a specific altitude and distance, then the munition’s own guidance steers it to the target. This level lay approach provides stable initial conditions and minimizes aircraft exposure, helping the PGM hit precisely while the onboard guidance handles the rest. Dive and glide are associated with different delivery concepts or unguided loads, while a level lay is the standard way PGMs are released to maximize accuracy.
