Lockheed Martin Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb Achieves Objectives in Marine Corps Training Exercises

Lockheed Martin’s Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb (DMLGB) was successfully employed during recent U.S. Marine Corps weapons and tactics instructor training.

During the training exercises at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona, AV-8B Harrier aircrews released 19 GBU-12F/B DMLGB weapons. The weapons were released in tactically representative engagements, and used various targeting modes against fixed targets. All weapons performed successfully and met Marine Corps mission objectives.

“We partnered with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to support day and night exercises that employed our enhanced DMLGB,” said Joe Serra, precision guided systems manager at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “DMLGB’s expanded launch area provides greater mission flexibility and standoff range compared to other dual-mode direct-attack weapons.”
