Final answer:

Each BLU-108/B submunition contains four projectiles called 'skeets' with infrared sensors and shaped charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The BLU-108/B submunition is a type of sensor-fused weapon that is used for defeating armored vehicles and tanks.

Each BLU-108/B submunition contains four projectiles called 'skeets'. These skeets are designed to be released from the submunition and each skeet contains an infrared sensor and a shaped charge.

The sensor detects the heat signature of a target and then directs the shaped charge towards it, creating a focused explosion that can penetrate the armor of a vehicle.
