During a recent test, a B-2 bomber delivered a live 5,000-pound GBU-28C/B bomb, sporting a new BLU-122 warhead, right on target. The GBU-28C/B provides more penetration of a target than its predecessor, the Enhanced GBU-28B/B, say Northrop Grumman officials. Northrop, which now has completed key objectives in its $5.4 million contract to integrate the C/B on the B-2, is working with Raytheon (warhead and upgraded guidance kit) on the program.
