SLUFAE (Surface-Launched Unit, Fuel-Air Explosive) was a mine clearing FAE system developed by the U.S. Army in the mid 1970s. The system consisted of a 30-tube rocket launcher mounted on a modified M548 tracked vehicle. The XM130 SLUFAE rocket was an unguided projectile consisting of a 45 kg (100 lb) BLU-73/B FAE warhead, a 5-inch "Zuni" rocket motor with a circular tail fin, and a long nose fuze. When exploding a few feet above the ground, the FAE warhead created a very large overpressure.
