The BLU-109/B is a hardened bunker buster penetration bomb used by the US Air Force and other countries, designed to penetrate concrete shelters and explode. It has a steel casing and a 550-pound warhead filled with Tritonal, and is equipped with a mechanical-electrical delayed-action tail-fuze. The bomb entered service in 1985 and has been used as the warhead for various guided bombs and missiles, including the GBU-15, GBU-24, and GBU-31. Variants of the bomb include the BLU-118, which uses a thermobaric explosive filler, and the HAMMER, which is designed to destroy chemical and biological substances by spreading incendiaries.
