Boeing has received a potential $20.9 million contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with GBU-57Â massive ordnance penetrators designed to target concrete bunkers and tunnels.
The service branch will obligate the full contract amount from its fiscal 2016 production funds at the time of award and the company will perform work through July 31, 2020, the Defense Department said Thursday.
GBU-57 is launched from B-2 and B-52 bombers and equipped with a global positioning system navigation system along with more than 5,000 pounds of explosives.
