Sensor Fuzed Weapon
A Safer Alternative to Cluster Munitions

Facts About SFW

  • No Hazardous UXO. Each smart Skeet™ contains dual self-destruct and self neutralization features to ensure no hazardous UXO is left behind.
  • 99% Reliability. SFW has been rigorously tested and combat proven showing a reliability rating of well over 99 percent.
  • Reduced Number of Warheads. A single SFW, using only 40 smart Skeet™s, can accomplish military missions that have historically required numerous legacy cluster bombs that disperse hundreds, possibly thousands, of indiscriminate bomblets that result in hazardous unexploded ordnance (UXO).
  • Low Collateral Damage on Battlefield. Each smart Skeet™ warhead contains only 2.2 lbs of explosive material and a 1.0 lb copper plate to apply a focused charge toward the target.
  • Advanced Sensors. Unlike legacy cluster bomblets, each SFW smart Skeet™ uses sensors, both infrared and laser, as well as sophisticated algorithms to detect and engage the target below it.
