Ammunition, with a self-destruction facility, carries a small explosive charge to fracture the casing on a remote command

摘要

The ammunition (10), for long range targets, has a unit (16) to deactivate it and reduce the lethal effect. The unit can be activated (20) by a data link after firing if the shoot is to be aborted. The activation unit has a signal receiver (32) for a coded transponder field (36). The ammunition can have a hollow charge (12), with a small explosive charge (14) to shatter the casing or a small charge (30) to separate casing segments (30).
