GLSDB MkII

The GLSDB used the original Small Diameter Bomb which glided to a GPS coordinates to attack a fixed target.
This new variant uses the GBU-53 B with a trimode seeker and a multi-purpose warhead to attack all targets, moving and stationary.

The article stresses the range of the bomb is only 46 miles from point of aerial release.
What it doesn't say is the range of the carrier system to get it to the point of release.

It could conceivably be mounted on a range of rockets, cruise missiles, loitering munitions or other UAVs.
 

Kratos MQ-58B has 1x 600 lb bay and 2x 600 lb mid wing hardpoints
The GBU-53B weighs 204 lbs - 6 bombs per sortie and a 5600 km one way range at 0.72-0.85 Mach.
