The Pentagon is looking to replace the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs that were used in the U.S. military’s operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities last year.

The Boeing contract, which became public on Thursday in a partially redacted Air Force document, is valued at more than $100 million, but the specific value was redacted.
