Low Altitude Bombing System (LABS) Button Magnet, Round (1 & 10 pcs)
Tax excluded.
The Low Altitude Bombing System (LABS) was a revolutionary technique and system developed during the early Cold War to enable nuclear-capable aircraft to deliver bombs while evading the destructive effects of their own nuclear explosions. LABS was designed for toss bombing, also known as "loft bombing," which allowed a bomber to release a bomb while climbing at a steep angle, effectively "tossing" it toward the target.
This method provided the bomber crew with a chance to escape the blast radius of the nuclear detonation, a critical feature in an era when nuclear bombs were becoming a central element of military strategy. The system used a gyroscopic computer to calculate the precise release point based on the aircraft’s speed, altitude, and climb angle.
LABS was used primarily by aircraft like the B-47 Stratojet, F-100 Super Sabre, and F-105 Thunderchief. Pilots would fly at low altitudes to avoid radar detection, then pull up sharply into a climb and release the bomb, letting physics and momentum guide it to the target.
Although effective for its time, LABS was eventually replaced by more advanced delivery systems, including standoff missiles and precision-guided munitions, as technology and tactics evolved. However, it remains a notable innovation in Cold War-era strategic and tactical bombing techniques
