CBU-52 Parameters and Performance

[Zilch]

Hi,

 

Since we're talking about bombing, why not discuss the CBU-52?

 

The manual has release parameters for the Mk 82, 83, 84, and M117, but not the CBU-52.

 

I could assume the bomb has roughly the same trajectory, but the behavior of the bomblets is what I'm curious about.

 

The container opens up four seconds after release, so I would assume that a higher release would disperse the bomblets over a greater area.

 

However, this also gives wind a much higher chance to act on the pattern.

 

Has anyone had a chance to look into this munition's behavior?

What is the minimum height to dump CBU-52?
