BANG
A NEW GENERATION OF MULTI-PURPOSE INSENSITIVE BOMBS
- High level of penetration
- Optimised calibrated fragmentation
- Blast effect
- Interfaced with various guidance kits
- Insensitive
DESCRIPTION
The BANG family is a new generation of multi-purpose insensitive bombs, which significantly extends the operational efficiency of air strikes, in articular when fitted with guidance kits (laser, INS/GPS, IR/INS/GPS).
There are two different classes, (BANG 125 kg and BANG 250 kg) which are fully interchangeable with Mk 81 and Mk 82 bombs, ordered by the French Official Services. BANG has been in service since 2000 with the French Navy. MBDA is also developping BANG 1 000 kg which is fully interchangeable with Mk84 bombs.
The BANG family is able to defeat a wide variety of targets from soft and semi hardened to hardened targets. This is due to optimised calibrated fragmentation and blast, plus a high level penetration capability.
