Winning in the Air

Textron Systems' air-deliverable precision strike technologies provide proven support for battlefield engagements today and tomorrow.



Sensor Fuzed Weapon and BLU-108 Submunition


Our Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) wins in more ways than one. 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, is the first smart air-to-surface munition to enter into production for the U.S. Air Force.

Equipped with Textron Systems' own BLU-108 submunition and smart Skeet warheads, SFW can detect and defeat many fixed and moving land combat targets within a 30-acre coverage area. And each Skeet features built-in redundant self-destruct logic, leaving battlefields clean of unexploded warheads that endanger the lives of innocent civilians.


Also available as an option is Leigh Aerosystems' LongShot™ wing kit, for long-range standoff out to 40 miles.


For high altitude release and active fin control, the USAF standard inventory Wind Corrected Munition Dispenser (WCMD) tail kit, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, is available as an option. Incorporating the WCMD tail kit on CBU-97 redesignates SFW as CBU-105.
