This version of the Mk-82 adds the BSU-49/B high drag tail assembly, also called the "ballute". This allows the bomb to rapidly slow down after release. By slowing down, pilot can release such a retarded weapon at low altitude and not be caught in the blast effect of the weapon. Pilot can choose to release the Mk-82AIR in either retarded or "slick" (no ballute deployed) modes.
