The GBU-10 is which weight and guidance?

• A. 2000 pound, laser guided
• B. 1000 pound, laser guided
• C. 500 pound, GPS guided
• D. 2000 pound, GPS guided

Answer: (A)

The GBU-10 refers to a 2000-pound class bomb that uses laser guidance. It’s part of the Paveway II family, which relies on a semi-active laser seeker to home in on a target that is illuminated by a laser designator from the aircraft or a ground/air platform. This means its guidance is laser-based, not GPS-based, and its weight is 2000 pounds, matching the option that pairs 2000-pound with laser guidance. The other descriptions mix different weights or switch to GPS guidance, which would describe different weapons (such as JDAM variants) but not the GBU-10.
