This USAF 1,000-pound freefall cluster bomb contains 10 BLU 108 submunitions. Each submunition contains four hockey-puck-shaped sensor-fused projectiles called Skeets. These skeets use laser and infrared to detect target vehicles, such as tanks, APCs, trucks and other support vehicles, and fire an explosively-formed penetrator downwards at them. What is the name of this weapon?

CBU 99 ROCKEYE
CBU 97 SFW
CBU 89 USAF GATOR
These submunitions on the CBU 97 SFW fires an explosively-formed penetrator to destroy a target once acquired. If a the submunition fails to find a target, it self-destructs 50 feet (15 m) above the ground; if this fails, a back-up timer disables the it. These features are intended to avoid later civilian casualties from unexploded munitions, and result in an unexploded-ordnance rate of less than 1%. What is the name of this submunition?
BLU 109 Penetrator
BLU 129 / B
BLU 108 (SKEET)
MK118 ROCKEYE
You are tasked with weaponeering a strike against an enemy armor formation. The proximity of the target to civilian areas is causing concern for potential unexploded ordinance post-strike. What would be the benefits of recommending the CBU 97 SFW pictured above?
submunitions contain a self destruct / disable timer if a target is not located resulting in an unexploded-ordnance rate of less than 1%
submunitions identify targets and have a low CEP
The BLU 108 submunition drives deep into the ground if it misses its target
The BLU 108 submunition drives deep into the ground with GPS trackers for easy location by EOD teams
