The GBU-72 underwent a series of tests at Eglin Air Force Base. [1] [5] These included a number of ground based tests which included detonating the bomb’s warhead within an array of barriers to measure its blast and other effects, and airborne tests between July and October 2021 which included confirming "the weapon could safely release from the aircraft and validate a modified 2,000-pound ...
The missile is equipped with six warheads, each reportedly containing submunitions, [3] and has been described as highly difficult to intercept, though modern ballistic missile interceptors are designed to counter this type of system. [4] [5] Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has identified the Oreshnik as a variant of the RS-26 ...

Weapon System was a United States Armed Forces military designation scheme for experimental weapons [2] (e.g., WS-220) before they received an official name — e.g., under a military aircraft designation system. The new designator reflected the increasing complexity of weapons that required separate development of auxiliary systems or components.
These tests are employed to validate a weapon system and ensure a submarine crew's readiness to use that system. A shakedown operation usually occurs after a refueling and overhaul process or construction of a new submarine. Testing of missile systems allows collection of flight-data, and examinations of submarine launch platforms.
The guidance system operates while the missile is in alert status, thus enabling the missile to be launched in less than one minute. Once the missile is launched, the guidance system cannot be changed or affected from the ground, a feature which prevents enemy interference with the planned trajectory of the missile.
By 1980, the Zhalo-S had completed the entire test cycle, the results of which were assessed as positive, but was not adopted due to how the 85 mm gun became ineffective against newer tanks. Furthermore, the rather small caliber of 85 mm meant that the gun was not suitable for using guided munitions, which were actively developed for other ...
The Battery Computer System (BCS) AN/GYK-29 was a computer used by the United States Army for computing artillery fire mission data. It replaced the FADAC and was small enough to fit into the HMMWV combat vehicle. The AN/GSG-10 TACFIRE (Tactical Fire) direction system automated field artillery command and control functions. [8]
