All MK-82, MK-83, and MK-84 are unguided general-purpose bombs.

• A. They are all unguided general-purpose bombs
• B. They are GPS-guided
• C. They are laser-guided
• D. They are air-dropped cluster bombs

Answer: (A)

These are standard gravity bombs in the 500-, 1000-, and 2000-pound classes used for general-purpose tasks. They are designed to be released from an aircraft and fall unguided to the target; there’s no built-in navigation or targeting system in their basic configuration. Guidance can be added with kits later (for example, GPS guidance with JDAM or laser guidance with Paveway), but in their plain form they are not GPS- or laser-guided. They are not cluster bombs, which burst into multiple submunitions, and they are not inherently GPS- or laser-guided by themselves.
