Jesus wept. I've always had a morbid fascination with weapons and this one definitely "satisfies" the morbid part. I agree with the other person. This is better than cluster munitions since it will result in far fewer civilian casualties, but it's also tremendously fucked. It makes me feel about as icky as thermobaric bombs do.

I hate to think what the improvement to this idea will look like. I'm sure it will be improved upon, since Northrop now has plenty of field data showing the effectiveness of this design.
