Known as CBU-97 and CBU-105, Textron Defense 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.
