TheBLU-116 is aUnited States Air Forcebomb, designed as an enhancedbunker buster penetration weapon, designed to penetrate deep into rock or concrete and destroy hard targets.[2]

The BLU-116 is the same shape, size, and weight (1,927 lb / 874 kg) and twice the penetration as theBLU-109 penetration bomb first deployed in the 1980s.[2] The BLU-116 has a lightweight outer shell around a dense, heavy metal penetrator core. The shape and size mean that the BLU-116 could be used by unmodified existing aircraft and bomb guidance units such as theGPS guidedGBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition andGBU-24 Paveway IIIlaser-guided bomb.[3]
