To get a drastically reduced threat by chemical or biological substances 100 % of the clusters ― submunitions or bomblets ― of an attacking TBM warhead have to be destroyed. In direct hits of kill vehicles this is not guaranteed because the presented target area is not covered by the cross section with enough area weight of the anti-TBM device. To enlarge the cross-section, rods have to be ejected as hitiles. To use all the available mass of the anti-TBM device ― warhead or kill vehicle ― a steerable symmetric or asymmetric elliptical hit pattern is favorable. With experimental results it is shown how such rod or hit distributions can be achieved.
