Which bomb is an air-launched, winged glide bomb deployed from a wing-mounted rack, with 63 inch wingspan, weighing 250 pounds and 71 inches long?

• A. GBU-39 (Small Diameter Bomb - SDB)
• B. AGM-176 (Griffin Missile)
• C. Drive Ratchet
• D. Common Screwdriver

Answer: (A)

This item tests the ability to recognize the 250-pound, winged glide bomb based on its size, shape, and deployment method. The description—air-launched with a 63-inch wingspan, about 71 inches long, and weighing 250 pounds, deployed from a wing-mounted rack—matches the Small Diameter Bomb. The GBU-39 is a 250-lb class glide munition carried on aircraft pylons and released to glide to its target, using precise guidance to hit targets from stand-off ranges while minimizing collateral damage. The other options have different roles and dimensions; one is a smaller, differently equipped missile, and the remaining two aren’t glide bombs released from wing racks. So, the best answer is the Small Diameter Bomb.
