1 year agoWell, technically it is a solved problem. Spain fielded electronically fused cluster bomblets that were disabled via a drained capacitor if not exploded in 5 minutes. This eliminated the possibility of live duds.
This Espin system has since been removed from service. Not sure if there are any similar system currently in use.
I believe is was pulled from service after Spain signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
