Talk:Sensor-fuzed weapon

''here's some more info, if anyone cares to add it. I just typed this up while watching Discovery channel show on this thing. It's not that great stylistically and I can't work it into the current article too well... but I didn't want it to go to waste and thought someone else might be able to clean it up. ''

Shortly after the the CBU-97 is dropped, the ten BLU-108 munitions seperate. Each BLU-108 is stabilized by a small parachute. At a preset altitude, a rocket motor in each BLU-108 fires, propelling it upward and causing it to rotate around the vertical axis. Due to this rotation, the four "skeets" are thrown outward as they are released, and they begin scanning for heat sources on the ground. If a suitable target is found, the bomblets hone in on it; if not, they detonate above the ground, spraying the area below with metal fragments in an attempt to cause as much damage as possible.

Do with it what you will, hope someone finds it helpful. Mystic Pixel 06:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
