CRV7 Rocket System

Warheads


WTU-5001/B

WTU-5001/B: Practice 
  • Canadian manufactured warhead 
  • 10 lb. class warhead  
  • used as a training substitute for various explosive filled 2.75 inch rocket warheads  
  • warhead consists of an 8 lb. soft steel rod encased in a nylon/glass fibre shell  



WDU-500X/B GPF

WDU-500X/B GPF: General Purpose Flechette 
  • anti-light armor warhead  
  • contains 80 tungsten flechettes weighing 280 grains (18 grams) each  
  • each flechette is capable of penetrating light armor (1.5 inches RHA)  
  • warhead functions at motor burnout, causing the flechettes to be expelled from the canister  
  • flechettes disperse in flight to maximize hit probability  

WDU-5002/B FAT

WDU-5002/B FAT: Flechette Anti-Tank  
  • warhead loaded with five tungsten penetrator rods  
  • each rod weighs 1.5 lbs, capable of penetrating Main Battle Tank (MBT) side and rear armor NATO Triple Heavy Spaced  
  • 10 lb. class FAT warhead uses a fuze which expels flechettes from canister at motor burnout  
  • five penetrators per warhead dramatically increases hit probability over unitary warheads  

RA-70 HEISAP

RA-70 HEISAP: High Explosive Incendiary Semi-Armor Piercing  
  • developed and qualified by Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikker and RNoAF primarily for anti-ship roles  
  • uses kinetic energy of CRV7 motors for hull penetration  
  • a fixed time delay fuze functions the warhead inside the ship  
  • high explosive fill and incendiary charge results in thousands of high velocity fragments with a pyrophoric effect  


M151 HEPD

M151 HEPD: High/Explosive Point Detonating  
  • available with either M423 or M427 fuze  
  • 8.7 lb. cast iron shell encases 2.3 lb. of Composition B-4 or Composition B high explosive  
  • detonates on impact, creating thousands of small, high velocity fragments

M257

M257 (M442 Fuze): Illumination  
  • designed for battlefield target illumination  
  • flare and rocket launch from either fixed-wing or rotary wing aircraft  
  • illuminates approximately 1 square mile with one million candlepower of light for 120 seconds
