BONUS Artillery Launched Precision Guided Munitions

Bonus artillery launched, fire-and-forget artillery shell targets and destroys armored vehicles (stationary or mobile) by top attack submunitions. Each BONUS shell carries two BONUS Submunitions, and is provided with base bleed system to reach ranges of 35km. Two Submunitions are carried in each shell, covering an area of 200 m' in radius. The BONUS submunition deploys two "wings" which stabilize its rapid descent path and fast spin required for target scanning. BONUS acquires a target by multi-spectral infrared signature. BONUS II, which will enter production in 2005 will also add a laser radar (LADAR) for improved aiming into a target shape generated by a laser radar (LADAR) sensor. The fusion of spectral and target profile enables BONUS to separate between combat-worthy targets, damaged or burning targets as well as decoys. Each submunition is equipped with explosive formed penetrator (EFP) striking the target by top attack. BONUS II is equipped with improved IR sensors capable of engaging targets with reduced IR signatures and countermeasures. BONUS is in production since 2003. Over 1000 BONUS shells have already been delivered to the French and Swedish armies, and current production programs are scheduled to last til 2007

@Cartmanland98 bla-bla-bla-bla. I agree boy Russia isnt second< Russia is first. Of course you may go anal love your fat failed country lol.

@DisgorgeKILLusa3 oooh internet tough guy haha. You can hate the US all you want, I would too if I was second best.. hell russia isn't even second anymore! Haters are going to hate :)

@umar699 if you listened to the presentation, the rebels have to get in the perimeter to disable anything. Also a lot of the major defense systems are redundant. Even if they launched something from a distance, that's exactly what these systems are built for. So yeah, sounds kind of simple just "use an electromagnetic pulse".. good luck getting it there though

A beautiful euphemism for "Fry that motherfucker to the gunnery sight"
