What type of sub-munitions is loaded in the CBU-87/B?

The CBU-87/B cluster bomb is specifically designed to carry BLU-97/B bomblets as its primary sub-munitions. These bomblets are equipped with an anti-armor design and are intended to engage and destroy armored vehicles and installations. The BLU-97/B bomblets can effectively disperse over a wide area, increasing the likelihood of hitting the intended targets.

The choice of BOM for the CBU-87/B aligns with its role in battlefield scenarios, where engaging multiple targets or wide dispersal can be crucial. Each BLU-97/B bomblet features a sensor that allows it to detonate when it detects a moving vehicle within its target zone, which enhances the lethality and effectiveness of the munition.

In contrast, while the other options represent different cases of sub-munitions that exist for various purposes, they do not apply to the CBU-87/B. For example, BLU-91/B and BLU-92/B bomblets are associated with different types of cluster munitions and have different intended effects, while the BLU-108 submunitions serve a distinct function focused on anti-armor capabilities as well. Thus, the specificity of the BLU-
