4) Type and name of Fuze.
5) BIP method?

As with Air.177 I'm out of my league. If only the Quiet Professionals are supposed to post here please delete this post.

1. It looks to be a BLU-97/B
2. Effective against armor, personnel and material
3. The BLU-97/b are dropped from a CBU-87, an all-purpose, air-delivered cluster weapons system.
4. FZU-39/B proximity sensor
5. The only thing I found for BIP methods involved using a flare (either electric match ignited or time fuse ignited) which caused the munition to crack thus neutralized it.

Edited to noted: Damn it someone beat me to it!
