BONUS stands out as a highly effective fire-and-forget munition that deploys two sensor-fuzed submunitions capable of independently identifying and neutralizing armored targets within a footprint of up to 32,000 square meters. With a maximum range of 35 kilometers when fired from a NATO L52 gun, BONUS combines high precision with effective action against moving targets. This makes it particularly suitable for integration with advanced artillery systems like BAE Systems' ARCHER.
Developed in collaboration with Nexter Systems, BONUS has been adopted by several nations, including Finland, France, Norway, Sweden, and the United States, emphasizing its reliability and versatility on the modern battlefield.
