Bombkapsel 90
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bombkapsel 90 (BK90) is the Swedish Air Force's nomenclature for a gliding stand-off submunitions dispenser, or cluster bomb, with 72 submunitions. It is manufactured by DaimlerChrysler Aerospace in Germany by the name of DWS 39 - Dispenser Weapon System 39 barrels. It is an enhancement of the previous version, the DWS 24. Its design is very similar to that of the AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon.
It is currently in service with the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen aircraft, but is expected to be available for the Eurofighter Typhoon.
