Which bombs may use the FMU-143/B, A/B fuze?

The FMU-143/B and FMU-143A/B fuzes are designed specifically for use with certain precision-guided munitions and general-purpose bombs that require an advanced fuze capability. The correct response indicates that the BLU-109 and GBU-24 can utilize the FMU-143/B fuze.

The BLU-109 is a penetrator bomb that is often used against hardened targets, while the GBU-24 is a laser-guided variant. Both of these munitions benefit from the added technology that the FMU-143/B offers, such as enhanced detonation capabilities and safety features that allow for improved target engagement.

In contrast, while the other bomb options listed may employ different fuzes, they are not designed to use the FMU-143/B specifically. Each fuze is tailored for the characteristics and operational needs of the bomb it accompanies. Understanding the compatibility between fuzes and munitions is important for ensuring effective and safe operations in munitions systems.
