IAI Introduces New Medium Laser Guided Weapon
IAI/MBT is unveiling here the MLGB, - Medium Laser Guided Bomb, offering dual-mode guidance employing GPS and terminal laser guidance. The weapon comprising an 80 kg warhead offers pinpoint accuracy under all weather conditions. The MLGB kit employs the warhead, terminal seeker and guidance system, attached to a wing assembly that retracts after release. Despite the relatively small warhead, MLGB is well capable of performing precision attack and close air support, while minimizing risk to friendly forces and collateral damage. It can effectively strike buildings, bunkers and moving or stationary ‘time critical targets’. The key to such improved performance is the weapon’s ‘trajectory shaping’ capability, enabling mission planners to carefully plan the flight profile, target approach and impact angle of the weapon.
According to IAI the weapon can be employed from various types of aerial vehicles. While IAI introduces the new weapon, sales of the larger Griffin 3, Next Generation Laser Guided Bomb (NGLGB) Kits continue, the company recently received orders for the kits worth tens of millions of dollars.
The GRIFFIN System provides much better hit accuracy than previous generation kits, even in high wind conditions or when aiming for a moving target. GRIFFIN 3 also offers trajectory shaping capability, which, when used with a penetration warhead, is integral to achieving maximum penetration.

该炸弹称为中程激光制导炸弹（MLGB），还处于研发的初级阶段。据称，该炸弹能够完成精确打击和近空支援任务，所能攻击的目标包括建筑物、小型掩体、时间关键目标以及移动目标等，具有全天候精确打击能力及弹道控制能力。
该炸弹携载80千克的战斗部，与美国的GBU-39/B小直径炸弹（配备93千克爆破战斗部）拥有相同的尺寸级别。只是看起来，MLGB具有稍低的长径比（L/D）。
