The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB pronounced /ˈmoʊ.æb/ commonly known as the Mother of All Bombs) is a large-yield conventional (non-nuclear) bomb developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts Jr. of the Air Force Research Laboratory. At the time of development it was touted as the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever designed. The bomb was designed to be delivered by a C-130 Hercules primarily the MC-130E Combat Talon I or MC-130H Combat Talon II variants.
