A target-penetrating aerial bomb includes a penetrator of hard steel or similar material that contains an explosive charge. A rocket motor is formed as an annular chamber and surrounds the penetrator. The bomb includes a guidance and control unit that guides the bomb on a glide path after release from the delivery aircraft, and steers the bomb onto a dive line. Once the bomb is aligned on the dive line, the guidance and control unit fires the rocket booster to accelerate the bomb to the target. A fuse ignites the explosive after target penetration.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A rocket-boosted penetrating bomb, comprising:a penetrator having a hardened case with a hollow interior containing a payload;a rocket booster motor mounted to the penetrator to accelerate the penetrator;an outer skin enclosing at least the penetrator and providing an aerodynamic shape;guiding means for guiding the bomb after release from an airborne vehicle in a glide phase and from the glide phase onto a guided dive line to a target;controlling means for activating the rocket booster motor after the guiding means has guided the bomb onto the guided dive line; and,a fuze for initiating the payload after impact with a target.
