Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. CBU-87 used tungsten alloy swaging rod to destroy armor vehicle.
The CBU-87 is a cluster bomb used by the United States Air Force, developed by Aerojet General/Honeywell and introduced in 1986 to replace the earlier cluster bombs used in the Vietnam War. CBU stands for Cluster Bomb Unit. When the CBU-87 is used in conjunction with the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD) guidance tail kit, it becomes a precision-guided weapon, designated CBU-103.
With the high density and hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, CBU-87 can penetrate armor easily.

After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. GBU-15 used tungsten alloy swaging rod as raw materials of its warhead.
GBU-15 is an unpowered, glide weapon used to destroy high-value enemy targets. It was designed for use with F-15E Strike Eagle, F-111 'Aardvark' and F-4 Phantom II aircraft, but the United States Air Force is currently only deploying it from the F-15E. The GBU-15 has long-range maritime anti-ship capability with the B-52 Stratofortress. Rockwell International is the prime contractor for this weapon system.
GBU-15 takes advantage of density and hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod to destroy high-value enemy targets.

Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Tungsten alloy swaging rod has been widely used for GBU-44/B.
The GBU-44/B is a GPS-aided laser-guided variant of the Northrop Grumman Brilliant Anti-Tank (BAT) munition which originally had a combination acoustic and IR seeker. The system was initially intended for use from UAVs, and it is also planned to integrate the weapon with the Lockheed AC-130 gunship, giving that aircraft a precision stand-off capability. The Viper Strike is now produced by MBDA.
With the high density and hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, GBU-44/B can penetrate armor and destry armor vehicle.

GBU-53/B is planning to use tungsten alloy swaging rod as raw materials of its warhead.
The GBU-53/B is an American air-launched, guided bomb. Development was started in 2006 for a 250 pounds (113 kg) class bomb that can identify and strike mobile targets from standoff distances in all weather conditions. It will be integrated on the F-15E and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Its first flight was announced on May 1, 2009.
GBU-53/B takes advantage of density and hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod to destroy underground bunker.

After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Tungsten alloy swaging rod has been widely used for GBU-28.
GBU-28 is a 5,000-pound (2,268 kg) laser-guided "bunker busting" bomb nicknamed "Deep Throat" produced originally by the Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet, New York. It was designed, manufactured, and deployed in less than three weeks due to an urgent need during Operation Desert Storm to penetrate hardened Iraqi command centers located deep underground. Only two of the weapons were dropped in Desert Storm, both by F-111Fs.
Tungsten alloy swaging rod has high density and high hardness which can help GBU-28 penetrate the rock formation and destroy underground bunker.
