Line 130:
[[Global Strike Command]] has indicated that one of the objectives for the [[Next-Generation Bomber]] is for it to carry a weapon with the effects of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. This would either be with the same weapon or a smaller weapon that uses rocket power, not unlike the WW II British/American [[Disney bomb]] used, to reach sufficient speed to match the penetrating power of the larger weapon.<ref>Trimble, Stephen.

One of the current limitations of the MOP is that it lacks a void-sensing fuze and will therefore detonate only after it has come to a stop, even if it has passed the target area.<ref>[http://www.aviationweek.com/Article/PrintArticle.aspx?id=/article-xml/AW_09_17_2012_p56-492712.xml&p=1&printView=true "USAF Focuses On Next-Gen Hard-Target Killer."]</ref>
