| | Rockwell GBU-15(V)/B |
 | | Development of the GBU-15 EOGB family was begun in 1974 by the Air Force Systems Command's Armament Division at Eglin AFB as an improved version of the Vietnam era GBU-8/B and -9/B HOBOS (Homing Bomb System) EOGBs. |
 | | The design by Rockwell was also known as the MGWS (Modular Guided Weapon System), because different warheads, guidance units, and control airfoils could be combined to create numerous configurations. |
 | | An initial batch of 100 GBU-15s were converted to EGBU-15 standard in 1999, and a further 1200 are planned to follow. |
