The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb, or GLSDB, is a weapon developed jointly by Boeing and the Saab Group that adapts the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb, originally built for use by aircraft, so it can be launched from the ground in a variety of configurations. It combines the Small Diameter Bomb with the M26 rocket motor, allowing it to be fired from ground-based launch systems such as the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and the M142 HIMARS.
