CBU-97 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The CBU-97 is a United States Air Force 1,000 pound (450 kg) class non-guided (freefall) cluster bomb, hence the name CBU (Cluster Bomb Unit). The CBU-97 contains 10 BLU108-66/B tactical munitions dispensers (TMD) who each contain 4 hockey puck shaped sensor-fused submunitions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CBU-97   (165 words)

SimHQ Forums: Falcon 4.0 Training Mission Report #15 CBU 58 and CBU 71 are identical in F4. CBUs are difficult to modell with the options of F4. I haven't tried with the same CBU you used in your mission, but in the CCRP default mission I set the CBU parameters to the above settings and had good results. www.simhq.com /cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=31;t=002848   (3125 words)

AFJI Originally developed for low-altitude, high-speed delivery, the 1,000-lb SFW, designated the CBU (Cluster Bomb Unit)- 97, consists of 10 BLU-108 submunitions that are ejected from an air-dropped, cylindrical, tactical munitions dispenser. It allows the CBU-97 SFW to be delivered from altitudes up to 40,000 feet; the WCMD steers the tactical munitions dispenser, with its 10 submunitions and 40 Skeets, to within 30 meters (100 feet) of its planned dispense point. Each submunition carries four Skeet anti-armor warheads, so a single SFW releases a total of 40 Skeets. www.armedforcesjournal.com /AFJI/Mags/2002/Oct/terminal_4.html   (536 words)

[2.0] Dumb Bombs (2): Cluster Munitions & Other Bombs Hunting developed a version of the BL-755 CBU that carries 49 HB.876 minelets as used on the JP-233. There are also a number of TMD CBU configurations that include the "Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD)" guidance kit. The TMD canister appears to be the "standard" at this time, and CBUs based on it include: www.vectorsite.net /twbomb2.html   (5598 words)

UAH Men's Soccer Home Page UAH won the first two GSC Championships in 1996 and ’97, while CBU has yet to notch a post-season win. KEY MATCHUPS: CBU comes into the tournament as the Conference’s top offensive (10.18 points per game) and defensive team (0.65 goals allowed per game), while UAH has the second best defensive squad (1.50 goals allowed). Birmingham, AL—It came down to the final match of the season, but when CBU defeated UCA, 5-1, Sunday evening, the Gulf South Conference Men’s Soccer Tournament field crystallized. www.uah.edu /Athletics/msoccer/archives/2000/index-10-31.html   (464 words)

Air Combat Command' Bomber Force A Cluster Bomb Unit (CBU) is a completely assembled weapon with integral bomblets loaded into a dispenser (SUU), and the combination of bomblets and dispenser determines its type. The following CBUs are the latest versions carried by ACC bombers: In testing, they have been dropped by all three bombers but only the B-52H is currently authorized to release this type of weapon, of which 10 can be carried externally on the HSABs. www.aeronautics.ru /usbomberforce01.htm   (3580 words)

TICKING TIME BOMBS The U.S. CBU-87 Combined Effects Munition (CEM) is the newest standard air-delivered cluster bomb unit (CBU) in the U.S. arsenal. It has been in the U.S. Air Force inventory since 1986 (and in production since 1984), and has replaced aging and less effective Vietnam-era cluster bomb units and antitank mines.

Why A-10A cant have CBU-97 in the game? - Topic The CBU in the game just acts like any other cluster weapon, albeit maybe with a bit more damage. The bomblets themselves actually have heat seakers to seek out tanks and other vehicles to destroy, propelling themselves out of their containers at speeds around Mach 5. It's anti-armor capability comes from a shaped charge capable of penetrating the top armor of virtually any tank or armored vehicle in the world. forums.ubi.com /6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=400102&f=38610606&m=127100264   (1914 words)

- Dumb Bombs A B-52 dropping a full load of 45 CBUs (each CBU-58/CBU-71 contains 650 submunitions) may produce an hazard area that is significantly more dense than an MLRS hazard area. Air Force and naval air power employ cluster bomb units (CBUs) containing submunitions that produce hazard areas similar to MLRS/ cannon artillery submunitions. One CBU-58 or three CBU-87/ CBU-52 contain approximately the same number of submunitions as one MLRS rocket with 644 submunitions. fas.org /man/dod-101/sys/dumb/cluster.htm   (927 words)

Lancer's detailed information These changes will allow CBUs to be delivered more accurately from higher altitude. Aircraft should start to be fitted with Block E in 2001. The next phase of the Conventional Mission Upgrade Program (CMUP) is Block E, which will add the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD) and upgraded computers. www.fortunecity.com /tatooine/leguin/643/web_tree/B-1/html/info_3.html   (875 words)

MCC - Areas of Service The WCMD is designed to fit a variety of munitions dispensers, including the Combined Effects Munition (CBU 87/B), the Sensor Fuzed Weapon (CBU 97/B) and the Gator Mine System (CBU 89). NATO forces dropped 1100 CBU 87/B's in Serbia and Kosovo during the Balkan War of 1999. CBU-87s were used during a bombing raid on the city of Najaf, on July 19, 1999, which resulted in eighteen deaths and fourteen injuries. www.mcc.org /clusterbomb/report/chapter1.htm   (12347 words)

Cluster Munitions WCMD The Wind-Corrected Munitions Dispenser WCMD is a tail kit which can be fitted to CBU 87/89/97 dispenser weapons. When dropped from high altitude (up to 40,000 ft) its inertial guidance system corrects for wind effects to give the cluster bombs comparable accuracy to a low-medium altitude drop.

[11.0] Modern Smart Munitions / Smart Shells One new submunition that can be used in this fashion is the "CBU-97/B Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW)" cluster bomb. The SFW carries a smart antiarmor submunition, designated the "BLU-108/B", that allows a single CBU to engage and destroy multiple armored targets simultaneously. The SFW is an outgrowth of work on smart weapons by Textron Defense Systems beginning in the mid-1980s under the "Assault Breaker" effort. www.vectorsite.net /twbombb.html   (5756 words)

Pentagon 'green-lights' munitions modification The Air Force eventually plans to buy 40,000 tail kits with 30,000 slated for the CBU-87 and 5,000 each for the CBU-89 and 97. The tail kits will be used on the CBU-87 Combined Effects Munition, the CBU-89 Gator Mine System and the CBU-97 Sensor Fuzed Weapon.
