• In Production Qualification Tests Conducted in September and November 2007 the BT Fuze SDF Demonstrated a Hazardous Dud Rate of Less Than 0.15% and a Reliability Rate of Greater Than 96%

• Meets all Requirements Established in January 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Policy Memorandum Stating That Beginning in FY 2005, All Newly Procured Cluster Submunitions Must Have a Dud Rate of Less Than 1%

• SDF will be Integrated into GMLRS DPICM Production at the Earliest Opportunity (FRP2 deliveries in FY 2009 from FRP2 Contract)
