Pentagon Okays WCMD


The US Department of Defense gave the green light to begin full-rate production of the wind-corrected munitions dispenser at Eglin AFB, Florida. The WCMD, a tail kit installed on existing “dumb” munitions, transforms these munitions into “smart,” accurate, adverse weather weapons. The tail kits will be used on the CBU-87 combined effects munitions, the CBU-89 Gator Mine System, and the CBU-97 sensor fuzed weapon. The Air Force plans to buy 40,000 tail kits, with 30,000 slated for the CBU-87 and 5,000 each for the CBU-89 and CBU-97. These weapons will be integrated on the F-16 as well as on other current and future fighters and bombers. The tail units are scheduled for delivery by the summer of 2002.
