GBU (Guided Bomb Unit)

A GBU, or Guided Bomb Unit, is a precision-guided weapon designed for accurate targeting during military operations. Unlike traditional bombs that fall directly after being released, GBUs use advanced technology such as laser or GPS guidance to steer toward a specific target, ensuring higher accuracy and minimizing collateral damage. They are typically launched from aircraft and are essential for engaging strategic targets with precision. GBUs enhance military effectiveness by combining the destructive power of a bomb with sophisticated navigation systems that improve the likelihood of hitting the intended target accurately.
