The US Air Force has approved low-rate initial production of the Lockheed Martin Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD). Lockheed Martin could provide the USAF with 40,000 WCMD kits worth about $500 million. The USAF plans to buy about 300 kits in the first production lot. The inertial guidance kit, which is fitted to the dispenser for the Combined Effects Munition, Gator mine and Sensor Fuzed Weapon, allows the effects of wind drift to be eliminated, using global positioning system data.
