    CB470, a cluster-bomb housing the R1M1 Alpha submunition, which was developed in Rhodesia in the 1970s.

    When Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, the designers moved to South-Africa and created the CB470 cluster-bomb for use with the existing R1M1 Alpha submunition.

    The CB470 cluster-bomb was intended for low-level attacks by high-speed combat aircraft against soft and semi-soft targets, such as troops, buildings, radar installations and vehicles.

    A total of 40 x submunitions are carried and each submunition is provided with its own ejection door.

    Once released, the CB470 ejects 40 x R1M1 Alpha submunitions, which bounce on Impact (IMP) to a height of between 1 and 6m (depending on the surface) before detonating.

    The CB470 container has been specifically designed to combine release at extremely low-levels with carefully controlled submunitions dispersal.

    The typical footprint of a single CB470 released at 1000km/h from 30m over level ground is 250m long by 70m wide.

    SCB-470 is the designation of the version that was licensed manufactured in Iraq.
