The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is not attributed to a single individual inventor, but rather was developed through a partnership between the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
Boeing was contracted in 2009 for the final integration of the weapon, leading to its operational deployment in 2011.
Key facts about the GBU-57 MOP development:
Purpose: The GBU-57 was developed in response to the need for a weapon capable of penetrating deeply buried and heavily fortified enemy targets, like those used to house nuclear weapons programs.
Start: Development began in the early 2000s under the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Testing: Flight testing occurred from 2008 to 2010.
Integration: Boeing was responsible for final integration in 2009.
Initial Operational Capability (IOC): The GBU-57 achieved operational deployment in 2011.
Key feature: Its design and construction, including a hardened steel casing, allow it to penetrate significant depths of earth and concrete before detonating.
First Combat Use: The GBU-57 had its first confirmed combat use during U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 22, 2025.
