The Standardized Avionics Integrated Fuzing (SAIF) concept is to optimize weapon effectiveness and minimize pilot tasks and flight limitations using avionics to compute in real-time release parameters such as: time to release, submunition ejection force, time from release to fin deployment, submunition release time, parachute deployment time, and rocket firing time. Presently these parameters are set prior to the flight and cannot be changed in flight. SAIF payoffs are in the area of operational flexibility and optimal weapon fuzing while removing the flight restrictions inherent in present fixed fuze weapon deliveries. The SAIF demonstration uses the AFTI/F-16 weapon delivery systems and a digital fuzing system module for a Tactical Munitions Dispenser (TMD). This demonstration is limited to a TMD weapon but the concept is transferable to other fuzed munitions including the MK-80 series of general purpose bombs. The munition used for the AFTI demonstration is a CBU-89 consisting of a SUU-66 dispenser filled with 94 Gator mines.
