The Sensor Fuzed Weapon is a United States Air Force 1,000 pound class non-guided, freefall, cluster bomb, hence the name CBU (Cluster Bomb Unit).

This is the one with ten packs of 4 intelligent “skeets” each and each skeet will seek out vehicles on the ground setting off a shaped charge directly at that identified vehicle. So essentially, one bomb can cover 360 acres and target as many as 40 separate targets.

Set off just one of these on the advanced line of armor and the rest will either turn around of be unmanned in a real big hurry.
