4.) arming wire assembly
5.) bomb fuzes
6.) adapter boosters
The bomb body of a general-purpose bomb is usually made of what type of material? correct
answers Heavy cast iron about 1/2 inch thick.
Fragmentation bomb bodies are made of what type of material? correct answers Spirally wound
spring steel that breaks into fragments when the bomb is detonated.
A 2,000 pound bomb has what suspension lug spacing? correct answers 30 inches

a weapon via a radio frequency or Doppler radar
What are boosters for ? correct answers Used to adapt small diameter fuzes to large diameter
nose and tail fuze wells. This component also serves to boost the explosive train between fuzes
and the bomb.
How are bombs identified? correct answers By the model number, lot number and/or serial
number, and painting or marking.

How much does the BLU-113A/B weigh? correct answers 4,500 pounds
What components make up modular guided bombs? correct answers A standard GP bomb body,
a target detective device, modular control unit, and airfoil group with a cruciform wing design.
What is the prime advantage of laser guided munitions? correct answers Their high degree of
accuracy. These munitions can reasonably be expected to strike within 1 to 3 meters of their
designated target
How close to its target can a GPS/INS guided munitions be expected to strike? correct answers
Within 10 meters of its target
, What is the main drawback to the EGBU hybrid system using both laser guidance and GPS/INS
systems? correct answers The main drawback to this system is in its complexity. Having both
systems in a single package makes the weapon more expensive and more complicated to load
and maintain than a weapon utilizing either guidance system independently.
