OVERVIEW: The CBU-103 WCMD (Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser) is an inertially guided, free-falling cluster bomb designed for attacking area targets.
 
DETAILS:  The CBU-103 WCMD  was designed to allow the accurate delivery of cluster munitions from high altitude.  It is made by mating a CBU-87 with a WCMD inertial guidance kit. The WCMD corrects for winds and adverse weather, while guiding the munitions to the target coordinates.  Inside the canister are 202 BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb (CEB) submunitions, capable of covering an area between 20x20 meters to 120x240 meters.

NOTES: Limited IOC 1998, with first operational fielding in 2000. Used by B-1, B-52, F-15E, F-16, and F-117 aircraft.
