Ground Bomb GLSDB: Affordable Offensive Weapons

The combination of a ground-to-ground missile tested in combat with existing air-to-ground weapons can significantly add to the current US military’s arsenal of shock capabilities at a low cost and with less risk. This idea led Boeing to develop a small caliber bomb launched from the ground (GLSDB) (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb). This system will allow the US Army and possibly other Allied armies that are equipped with the MLRS rocket launcher (MLRS) to achieve targets at large distances (more than 150 km) with the accuracy provided by the standard SDB bomb. In accordance with the ban on cluster armament, the US Army began dismantling its M26 missiles. Their combat units are stuffed with 644 grenades M77 (anti-personnel / to defeat the material part), which are scattered over the target in the air, which is now outside the law. The rocket itself has a range of 32 km and thus can be used to launch something else. Instead of destroying them, Boeing began developing an interstage adapter that allows you to connect the SDB and the rocket. When it reaches a given fire control system, the adapter separates the SDB from the rocket and, thanks to its folding wings, the bomb plans to the target using its inertial navigation / GPS system. The high-explosive warhead of the piercing action weighs 93 kg, it is distinguished by a profiled nose, contains 16 kg of a low-sensitivity explosive and is equipped with an electronic fuse with selectable before deactivation modes: air detonation, non-contact and delayed. The bomb can be used in underground structures, since the penetration of the warhead into the reinforced concrete reaches almost one meter. GLSDB is compatible with the M270A1 MLRS MLRS and M142 HIMARS, each container holds six missiles, i.e., caterpillar 12 missiles and six light wheeled missiles. After completing the development of the interstage adapter, Boeing must conduct ground and flight tests.

An interesting solution. Previously, they used air-to-air missiles for ground-based air defense, now air-to-ground missiles have been converted into surface-to-surface missiles. It's cheaper, more versatile, and more deadly this way.

CIA agents, PMCs, FBI agents, military advisers are now native Ukrainians. Zmagayuzza for his independent and unified land, fiery American lads. There was a whole zoo of foreign mercenaries on the Maidan. Until now, the investigation is at a dead end. Who shot in the back of the rams on the Maidan from the Ukraine hotel, which was controlled by the Maidan. In such a dead end that they even cut down all the trees with traces of shots.
So who are the terrorists? It’s nothing like the militants of Bandera e ... Jews during the Lviv pogrom. It’s nothing that the Jews were persecuted and killed along with the Poles and Russians.
Do you call yourself a Jew? You did not see the Holocaust and concentration camps, you did not smell the gas in the cells. From that they are so arrogant and deceitful.
The same American lads worked in Syria, most of the foreigners were field commanders of the militants in Syria. In Libya, Western special forces worked against Gaddafi, western planes provided a no-fly zone with air-to-ground missiles and bombs. Gaddafi's warriors knew how to fly like genies?
In Syria, the Islamists are fighting all over the place in the settlements.
They are terrorists according to the habadnik professor. What was the professor silent before? And even the moderate Syrian Sunnis are terrorists, because they are fighting in their neighborhoods. But they would go out into the open field and there they would cover them all with one gulp.

Behind the backs of women and children did not hide

As I understand it, in the Middle East, then of all future citizens of the state of Israel there were exclusively males aged from 18 to 45?
I accept the patriotism of everyone, if this does not happen with the infringement of others. By the way, what about Kosovo, Sudan, and all the states of the American continent? (We will omit other European, as well as African, Asian examples) For the sake of brevity, is the exception only the state of Israel?

fought exclusively against foreign occupation authorities ...

Moreover, the national heroes of that time are known to many. And who knows the heroes of Israel until the 19 century? Perhaps no one except historians, since they were considered terrorists, not heroes. That is, until you win - you are a terrorist, and after the victory - a fighter for independence.

On this topic, you can throw evidence and refutations for a long time. In my opinion, the words of the prophet Moses from the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible speaks most vividly about the methods of the Jews' struggle against the "occupiers" of the promised land: them Moses: [why] you left all women alive? 14 Here they, according to the advice of Balaam, were for the children of Israel an excuse for apostasy from the Lord to please Fegor, for which the defeat was in the company of the Lord; 15 So kill all the male children, and kill all the women who know a husband on a male bed. 16 But all the female children who have not known the male bed, keep alive for yourself; " (Numbers, chapter 17).

Stab the Chabadnik to your Chabad and preach there. People in a referendum have spoken, millions of people. Militias are representatives of these millions. Rebels, combatants.
Terrorists are those who shot civilians in Mariupol, the police who refused to use weapons against civilians, those who burned people alive in Odessa, those who shot the commission in the New Idar.
Terrorists are those who shot hospitals and churches, those who shot the water supply in the Donbass, those who shot the pumping station, those who shot the wounded in the hospital of the Red Estuary.
Is it in the hospital that they were hiding peacefully, or in a kindergarten, or in a church?
You will tell us about terrorists !! Chabadnik .....
The West has stuffed Syrian terrorists with the weapons to the eyeballs, the most vile scum of the igil and annusra. And nothing combatants, rebels and fighters for democracy. And schools are blowing up with children and nothing is terrorists.
Thank God that the Russians are not Western scum and do not teach Hezbollah, for example, cheap and effective solutions so that the Chabad people finally wash away with their "terrorism."

I wonder where (rhetorical question)?

as I understand it, we have already presented this installation in a container, and there’s a video of a club type missile flying from a container ship from a container ship and destroying the enemy

This complex and Club is a virgin completely different things. By the way, the use of Klab from civilian platforms is contrary to the Geneva Conventions.
This complex is intended to replace front-line aviation. Instead of calling a plane, it’s faster and much cheaper to use this device from the frontline. In the end, the bomb doesn’t matter who dropped it, an airplane or a rocket.

make a smaller caliber rocket bomb, and also mask in the container ...

yes, if the starting engine is working at the start, this by definition cannot be a bomb ...

This is a MLRS with a planning warhead, do not pull on the globe.

Judging by the logic of Prohesor, the Warhead of the Voivode is also a bomb.

About a year ago there was an article on VO, something similar was created in Ukraine, only the device was intended for ambush actions.

[cosmos111]

another topic ... tactical missile launcher NLOS-LS - makes it possible to hit targets at 40 km from closed firing positions, tanks, fortifications ...
launch containers with missiles are combined into a single unit and are not tied to the carrier, they are delivered to their destination by any transport, motor vehicle, boat, etc.
complex dimensions 114х114х175 weight 1,5 tons ....

missiles of the first type PAM (Precision Attack Missiles) are high-precision ammunition that is sent to the target using the satellite navigation system GPS or its own inertial navigation system (Inertial Navigation System - INS). In the final section, several homing modes are provided

Missiles of the second type LAM (Loitering Attack Missiles) are also displayed in a given area using the GPS / INS system. They fly over the battlefield in search of a target, and then, upon discovering the target, destroy it upon command from the ground. They can conduct reconnaissance, aerial photography, target designation and keep in touch, that is, until target designation they perform a flight over the battlefield as shock UAVs.

I like this approach. They made a universal launcher eleven years ago and now they put everything in it that they can think of or bungle from anything. We have all the installations narrowly specialized and you can't shoot from a hail of missiles from a hurricane.

[Denimax]

The bomb itself looks like a hunting arrowhead for a bow.

[voyaka uh]

It was high time to remake this stupid NUR MLRS system
for other ammunition - concrete.
It is amazing that in Israel they did not think of this.
Israel bought them and they were absolutely useless.
They shot at Lebanon in 2006. The militants sat deep
in the bunkers. All ammunition was released idle.

[cosmos111]

walking is not new ... this is a continuation of the topic: SDB (Small Diameter Bomb) planning bomb ...
and according to the performance characteristics, they are almost identical: weight about 100 kg ... diameter 20 cm ... length about 2 met ... planning range 100 cells ...

the main idea, GLSDB: to make its use cheaper than SDB (one plane departure is several times more expensive))) of its ground launch ....
judging by the photo of the GL-SDB, the launch comes from an installation of the "MLRS MLRS" type ..

[voyaka uh]

I say: it’s time to remake MLRS missiles from NUR to UR.
Because both high-explosive and cluster versions of missiles are ineffective.
They are for hitting a square on the clusters of the enemy. With this
and ordinary howitzers with a shell for the price of $ 150 cope.
And it’s a pity to launch a missile 7.5 m long with a 300 kg warhead.

[Alexander.B]

Something in my opinion, a bomb is an uncontrolled means of hitting a free fall. Dropped - fell, banged. And here the rocket is like a rocket, they just changed the stuffing.

Now, if they made a flight to a certain point with the subsequent firing of the rocket engine stages, then this would really be a smart, relatively cheap (?) And maneuverable means of destruction - a ground-to-ground bomb.

And the heavy nose with the fuse itself will roll down, especially since it is not difficult for the designers to foresee a forward bomb toss, which will slow down.

Or even the bow will carry a charge, and the fuse will be in the middle of the ammunition and when the steps come off, the firing pin will be right below.

In short, well done, I'm a dreamer)))

[cosmos111]

Quote: Alexander.B

it is an uncontrollable means of defeating the free pade

This is more a rocket from the MLRS "Smerch" cal 300 mm: at a distance of 70 km, for operational reconnaissance of targets and clarification of weather conditions in the target area, a 9M534 rocket with a T-90 UAV is used ... loitering time 20-30 minutes ...

Your second picture in one post with a fairing. About her and speech.
In general, this is only a project. Many technical problems have yet to be resolved. MLRS rocket for stabilization requires rotation. A planning warhead is desirable to have a horizontal position for the dissolution of the wings and continue the flight.

in short, I myself am confused, in my post with a fairing ....

but that’s not the point, after starting from MLRS, GLSDВ, it gains altitude and a predetermined path, the engine turns off, wings open and the ammunition starts free planning .... after reaching the target, vertical diving .... BACH and EVERYTHING !!!
there was a tank .. no tank (bunker) or tank in the bunker ...
