The Air Force is taking the next steps to test, develop and produce a new class of “more penetrating†bunker buster weapons to enable aircraft to destroy a new level of fortified underground targets.
Accordingly, the service is now accelerating new 2,000 and 5,000 bunker buster bombs, the A2K and the A5K, configured with a wide range of geometrical and mechanical adjustments to improve penetration and overall attack performance.
“The A2K will bring the next-generation of penetration and use new contours,†Col. Gary Hasse, Air Force Research Laboratory weapons developer, told Warrior Maven in an interview.
