It is a variation of the "Big Blue" 15,000 bomb used in Nam to create helo LZ's. It too was dropped from a C-130 using a parachute to "pull" the bomb from the cargo bay & create enough of a delay to allow the aircraft to escape the concussion zone.
The daisy cutter as it was also know, would clear an area of approx 200 feet in diameter, in the thick jungle growth.
