Well, the difference in strategy of these weapons is considerable. The runway denial weapon was designed for maximum short term disruption of FJ air ops from a fixed base in a relatively hostile AD situation with approx 4 a/c to close an airfield. The PGM solution required virtual air supremacy at medium altitude to pick off point targets at approx 1 PGM per DMPI.
