USAF designates Next Generation Penetrator bunker buster as GBU-76/B

The U.S. Air Force has designated its Massive Ordnance Penetrator replacement as the GBU-76/B Next Generation Penetrator and is initiating contracting groundwork for R&D, production, and testing. Notable planned advances include new fuzing and an alternate navigation system intended to maintain accuracy in GPS-degraded/denied environments, with potential future options like powered/boosted designs for extended reach and improved penetration.
