Description
The SUU-13/A dispenser-BLU-19/B23 bomblet weapon system was designed to provide a capability of delivering appropriate concentrations of agent by high performance aircraft.
The BLU-19/ B23 was a cylindrical, thin walled, unstabilized munition. The bomblet, made of steel plate, was fabricated in four basic parts: 1) an outer shell, 2) a centrally-placed agent load, 3) a central burster composed of plastic bonded RDX, and 4) a modified M551 fuze. The BLU-19/D23 bomblet is designed to be ejected from the SUU-13/A dispenser, which holds 40 bomblets.
