The Stand-off Dispenser (SOD)  is a special weapon of the Ace Combat series. Numerous bomblets are dispersed from a guided dispenser that flies over a locked-on target. Effective against targets along a straight line. Stand-off Dispenser are cruise missiles or glide bombs which may be launched at a distance sufficient to allow attacking personnel to evade defensive fire from the target area. Typically, they are used against land and sea-based targets in an offensive operation. The name is derived from their ability to engage the target while standing off outside the range at which the defenders are likely to engage the attacker.
