It's been a long time since I was here.
From what I have found on the web the Gladeye was known as Mk17 when complete. It was a 1960s US dispenser which could carry Lazy Dog steel bits, leaflets and napalm canisters. According to Norman Friedman (author of US Naval Weapons) the Gladeye Mk17 could carry 330 M40 submunitions. There are hints that Gladeye may have been a BW system but I could find no evidence for this.
If would be thankful for any help or information.
