Although I don't know about the naming conventions for HAVE programs, here's information on one particular program: HAVE BLOCK. The heart of HAVE BLOCK, first briefed by the Plans and Programs Office at Eglin (XR-3) in 1985, was a mechanical diverter consisting of sheets of plexiglass to be placed between bombs in storage configuration. The program's intent was decreasing the energy of fragments that might strike other bombs stored nearby. Various configurations of MK 82 bombs have been tested, with mixed results, using HAVE BLOCK.
