Sensor Fuzed
Weapon (SFW) |
|
|
Known as CBU-97 and CBU-105, Textron Systems' Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) is
the first and only combat-proven smart area weapon of its
kind in U.S. Air Force inventory designed to accurately detect
and defeat multiple threat targets. Superior lethality makes
it the standoff weapon of choice for anti-armor, anti-air
defense and other air combat missions.
The SFW, a 1,000-pound class weapon, contains our own BLU-108
submunition and Smart Skeet warheads. Equipped with dual-mode
passive infrared and active laser sensors on each warhead,
one SFW can simultaneously detect and engage many fixed and
moving land combat targets within a 30-acre coverage area. |
Combat proven on April 2, 2003 in Operation Iraqi Freedom,
SFW took out multiple Iraqi tanks in a single pass. SFW's
40 warheads are also equipped with timed self- de-activation
modes for clean battlefield operation. |
