BONUS Sensor-fuzed Artillery Shell

In these times of enhanced mobility and armour protection, striking from longer ranges and from above is the most efficient and cost-effective way of destroying MBTs, APCs and SP guns.

BONUS, a Bofors Defence/Giat Industries joint development, is a spin-stabilized artillery shell containing two sensor-fuzed, top-attack sub-munitions with explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warheads.

 After expulsion, and at a preset altitude, each of the submunitions helically searches a target area exceeding 30 000 m2.

Immediately their sensor systems with built-in logic detect and evaluate the target the EFP warheads strike down through the target's roof.

In the near future it will also be possible to apply the BONUS technology to other systems, such as dispenser weapons.
