Explanation:

The SAAW project is India's first fully indigenous anti-airfield weapon project sanctioned by Government in 2013.
SAAW is a long-range lightweight high precision-guided anti-airfield weapon. It is 120 kg smart weapon capable of engaging ground targets with high precision up to a range of 100 km.
It can be used to destroy bunkers, runways, aircraft hangers and other reinforced structures.
SAAW's deep penetration capabilities and high explosive warhead carrying capacity will allow Indian Air Force (IAF) to easily hit targets across border without putting pilot and aircraft at risk.
It can be integrated into the varied types of fighter jets with the IAF. It will be inducted soon into the Armed Forces.
