MLGB (Medium-weight Laser Guided Bomb) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision guided glide bomb that can attack both fixed and moving targets.[1] It was developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).[2][3] The relatively light warhead is optimized for such missions where minimum collateral damage is of high importance.[4]
