  • Cluster Weapons – Military Utility and Alternatives
    FFI-rapport/2007/02345 Cluster weapons – military utility and alternatives Ove Dullum Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt/Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) 1 February 2008 FFI-rapport 2007/02345 Oppdrag 351301 ISBN 978-82-464-1318-1 Keywords Militære operasjoner / Military operations Artilleri / Artillery Flybomber / Aircraft bombs Klasevåpen / Cluster weapons Ammunisjon / Ammunition Approved by Ove Dullum Project manager Jan Ivar Botnan Director of Research Jan Ivar Botnan Director 2 FFI-rapport/2007/02345 English summary This report is made through the sponsorship of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its purpose is to get an overview of the military utility of cluster munitions, and to find to which degree their capacity can be substituted by current conventional weapons or weapons that are on the verge of becoming available. Cluster munition roughly serve three purposes; firstly to defeat soft targets, i e personnel; secondly to defeat armoured of light armoured vehicles; and thirdly to contribute to the suppressive effect, i e to avoid enemy forces to use their weapons without inflicting too much damage upon them. The report seeks to quantify the effect of such munitions and to compare this effect with that of conventional weapons and more modern weapons. The report discusses in some detail how such weapons work and which effect they have against different targets. The fragment effect is the most important one. Other effects are the armour piercing effect, the blast effect, and the incendiary effect. Quantitative descriptions of such effects are usually only found in classified literature. However, this report is exclusively based on unclassified sources. The availability of such sources has been sufficient to get an adequate picture of the effect of such weapons.

"- SCOPE OF REVIEW In accordance with discussions with your office, we focused on --a cost comparison of the bids submitted in response to the fiscal year 1979 solicitation, --the need for the Center as a producer of penetrators, --whether the use of the Center would have avoided pro- duction delays, and --the latest expenditure figures for the fiscal year 1978 and 1979 contracts. We also (1) reviewed the history of the Army's efforts to improve its 105-mm. tank armament leading to the decision to develop a depleted uranium penetrator (XM774 round), (2) looked at correspondence from DOE stating its position and the conditions under which it might accept a production contract to use the Center, and (3) obtained information on (950600) B-199906 the problems encountered by the first limited production contractor, National Lead of Albany (NLA), also a subsidiary of NL Industries, Inc., in performing under the terms of the 1978 contract.
