Spin-stabilised shell with submunition ejection device - ejected together with submunition bodies to avoid collision with antenna

摘要

A spin-stabilised shell has a submunition chamber separated from a gas chamber by an ejection device (19), each submunition body (2) having a casing (23) with a parachute at the bottom and an antenna (17') at the top. Each antenna is covered by a cover, which protects it against the parachute of an adjacent submunition body (2), and the antenna (17') of the submunition body (2) adjacent the ejection device (19) faces the ejection device. The novelty is that the ejection device (19) consists of a dome (21) and an ejector plate (20) having the shape of a protective cover, separation of the dome (21) and the ejector plate (20) occurring only after completion of ejection. ADVANTAGE - The ejection device has a simple construction, operates reliably and does not collide with the antenna of the submunition body next to the ejection device after ejection.
