OBS

The SLUFAE (Surface-Launched Unit, Fuel-Air Explosive) system is a self-propelled MLRS [multiple-launch rocket system] designed primarily for standoff demolition of minefields. The project was initiated in the mid-1970s by the US Army and Navy. The primary customer was to be the US Marine Corps. It was extensively tested in 1976 through 1978. Though its results were deemed satisfactory, it was never accepted into service, and the CATFAE (CATapult-Launched Fuel-Air Explosive) eventually took its place in development.
