The GBU-15 is a combat-proven guided bomb capable of destroying the most hardened targets. During the Gulf War (1991) the GBU-15 demonstrated its capabilities against Saddam Hussein's regime. It was developed to be released from the F-111 and the F-4, currently is released from the F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft.

The GBU-15 consists of modular components attached to either a Mk 84 general purpose bomb or BLU-109 penetrating warhead. Each GBU-15 has a forward guidance section, warhead adapter section, control module, airfoil components and a weapon data link. The weapon can attack using the direct attack mode, which means the pilot locks the weapon onto the target and the GBU-15 guides itself to the target, and the indirect attack mode, which means the pilot must guide actively the GBU-15 bomb via the data-link to the selected target.

The GBU-15(V)1/B was deployed in 1983 and features a TV guidance system. During 1999 to 2000 a large number of GBU-15 bombs were upgraded to the EGBU-15 standard which adds a GPS/INS navigation unit for higher precision strikes. As of early 2011, the remaining EGBU-15 guided bombs are available for the F-15E aircraft with the GBU-15 model inventory being completely depleted.

The all-weather AGM-130 is an extended range derivative of the combat-proven GBU-15 bomb through the addition of a rocket motor and a new guidance package. The guidance system consists of an altimeter, GPS/INS-aided navigation system, and either an IR seeker or a CCD-TV seeker.

The seeker can be either locked onto the target before or after launch for automatic weapon guidance, or it can be manually steered by a weapon systems officer. Manual steering is performed through the two-way data link. The AGM-130 retains GBU-15 direct and indirect attack modes. The weapon can be dropped at high (direct and indirect modes) and low (indirect mode) altitude. The low altitude case is used to avoid enemy air defenses detection. Once the rocket motor is exhausted is ejected from the AGM-130 weapon.

The AGM-130 is designed for use in the F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft.

The AGM-130A features a Mk-84 blast/fragmentation warhead and a CCD-TV seeker.

The EGBU-15 adds a GPS/INS guidance package to the GBU-15 bomb to achieve all-weather capability and unprecedented accuracy of about 3 meters CEP. The US Air Force plans to procure 1,200 EGBU-15 for the F-15E Strike Fighter fleet.
