The Main Part of the Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles presents concise information about all missiles and rockets, which have received a numerical designation in the DOD's joint Designation System for Unmanned Aerospace Vehicles since 27 June 1963.
Appendix 5 covers the guided bombs, which received a designation in the DOD's GBU series of weapons. Similar to the articles in the DUSRM main part, the primary goal of this appendix is to provide a reference to all allocated designations in the GBU series, and to highlight the differences between the guided bombs' versions.
