Current Designations of U.S. Unmanned Military Aerospace Vehicles The AGM-62 Walleye is an unpowered glide bomb and shouldn't have been designated in the missile series. The original AGM-154A/B/C JSOW are unpowered guided glide bombs and should have received GBU-n/B designations. In the end neither designation was ever used before the whole UAV program was restructured. www.designation-systems.net /usmilav/missiles.html   (3546 words)

Raytheon AGM/BGM/RGM/UGM-109 Tomahawk The BGM-109E was a proposed improvement of the BGM-109B anti-ship missile, and the BGM-109F was to be a TLAM variant with an anti-airfield warhead (possibly using BLU-106/B submunitions). The Tomahawk versions currently in the U.S. Navy operational inventory are the RGM/UGM-109C/D TLAM-C/D, and the RGM/UGM-109E Block IV. The initial versions, both also known as Tomahawk Block I, were the strategic BGM-109A TLAM-N (Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile - Nuclear) with a thermonuclear warhead and the BGM-109B TASM (Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile) with a conventional warhead against surface-ships. www.designation-systems.net /dusrm/m-109.html   (2969 words)

``The GBU-28 Bunker Buster''({\relax 1998 update based on earlier Australian Aviation article}.) The options for a bunker buster were therefore narrowed down to three weapons, the HTOT with a 20 week timescale to deployment, an Upscaled BLU-109 available in 4-5 weeks and the Dense Penetrator BLU-109, available in 10 weeks. USAF planners were clearly concerned at the number and quality of Iraqi bunkers, many of which clearly would resist the in service I-2000/BLU-109 bunker busting warhead. This smaller weapon was the mainstay of the Gulf War bunker and HAS busting effort, accounting for the lion’s share of the several hundred bunkers and shelters cracked during the air campaign. f-111.net /CarloKopp/gbu-28.htm   (3928 words)

Rockwell B-1 This is a low-cost guidance kit that can be attached to existing 1000-pound bombs such as the Mk 83 or BLU-110 or to a 2000-pound bombs such as the Mk 84 or BLU-109. Variants include the GBU-31(V)1/B which is installed on standard Mk-84 bombs, and the GBU-31(V)3/B which includes a BLU-109 penetrator warhead. The bomb is guided by an inertial navigation system which steers the bomb to a predetermined target given to a GPS receiver. home.att.net /~jbaugher2/newb1_4.html   (3928 words)

Smart Weapons Laser Guided Bombs LGBs, GBU-27, GBU-28 Compared to a standard 2,000 lb (907 kg) high-explosive bomb the BLU-109 is quite narrow and made of high-grade forged steel. For that reason the U.S. developed a penetration warhead designated BLU-109. Laser guided bombs are quite accurate and cause considerable damage to most targets. www.danshistory.com /lgb.shtml   (542 words)

Humans Underground He said the bomb created "a significant growth in overpressure for the tunnel and temperature." Known as the BLU-118B, the new warhead is fitted onto the BLU-109, a 2,000-pound air-launched bomb. The thermobaric bomb BLU-118S was among the more than 80 pieces of ordnance dropped on Saturday by US warplanes south of the Afghan city of Gardez where intelligence had discovered a concentration of Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters. Air Force F-15E fighter jets will launch the new weapon, which would find its target either by a laser or satellite guidance system. www.humanunderground.com /underground.html   (2691 words)

All Hands: Weapons - U.S. Navy Owner's & Operator's Manual 2004 The Navy's MK 80 series bombs remaining in inventory are filled with H-6 high explosive; the newer BLU series bombs incorporate a PBXN-109 explosive that provides less sensitive characteristics and is considered safer to handle and stow. The remaining versions of the MK 80 series bombs are being converted from the MK designation to the bomb loaded unit (BLU) designation during new production.

Paveway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although Paveway III kits were developed for the smaller Mk 82 weapons, aerodynamic instability and limited effectiveness caused the USAF to adopt the kit only for the larger 2,000 lb-class weapons (the Mk 84 and BLU-109. Paveway is a kit that attaches to standard unguided bombs, consisting of a seeker unit with a thermal battery to provide electrical power, a set of front fins to provide course correction, and a set of rear wings to allow the weapon to glide towards the target rather than free-falling. Paveway III guidance kits were also used on the GBU-28/B penetration bomb fielded at the close of the 1991 Gulf War. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Paveway   (772 words)
