Indian Head, MD (Mar. 5, 2002) -- A completed BLU-118B thermobaric bomb is ready for shipping at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC). Engineers at NSWC developed the thermobaric explosives, which were used for the first time against Al Qaida and Taliban forces March 2 during combat missions in support of Operation Anaconda in eastern Afghanistan. The name comes from the Greek words for "heat" and "pressure." The munition has a primary explosion which releases the fuel for a secondary explosion. The secondary causes extremely high pressure wave. U.S. Navy photo courtesy of Naval Surface Warfare Center. (RELEASED) |
