[NAM] Ship to Surface Bunker Buster

Ship to Surface Anti-Bunker Bomb: After the planet X attack NAM started producing weapons designed for combat on a planet. The need for such weapons was clear after the combat situations where marines were largely unsupported once they entered subterranean tunnels. The ship based anti-bunker bomb is a four meter long missile designed to be dropped from space. It utilizes fold out wings and a communication system to guide itself using the assistance of either a ship or power armors to a target underground. The dense tungsten tip armored with ablative ceramic heat reduction pannels uses the kinetic energy of the fall to burrow nearly one half of a kilometer under ground before detonating its hyperspace tap power system. The resulting explosion can be set between five and five hundred megatons to cause massive shockwaves underground which destroy tunnels and collapse bunkers under the ground for up to fifty kilometers.

Because the weapon was designed independently of a starship it is designed to be deployed in a variety of ways. Provided external missile racks are not available the bomb can be pushed out of a ship's launch bay or utilize its power armor rapid launch system for deployment.

Questions: What's if made out of (it's got ot be really strong to get so deep intact) and what explosive does it use?
 
Updated: Armor is an ablative ceramic backed with dense tungston. The explosive is a hyperspace tap system.
 
NAM is part of the Nepleslian government so aether weapons are okay.

Approved.

It is possible to deploy it from a ship, apparently.
 
Well, what I'm getting at is, if it's an orbit to surface free falling bomb, doesn't it have to contend with the lack of gravity where space ships normally stay?
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity From the Wikipedia.

There are only Three conditions I can think of where gravity would not nessisarily apply. Those are: High orbit around a planet, FTL field of somesort, and deep space. The first if the bomb was shot forward it would merely orbit. The second, it would stay with the ship, and the third it would probably end up getting picked up by the wrong planet's gravity.

However provided the bomb does not orbit the planet outside of the atmosphere where it could use friction to change direction, gravity can be felt from any distance.
