Missile loaded with bomblets - with each bomblet having explosive charge to separate it from missile

摘要

A missile which carries a number of bomblets has the bomblets (14) stored in tubes (26) packed inside the missile. Each tube (26) receives several bomblets (14) which are arranged one behind the other in the tube (26) whilst the tubes (26) are arranged in a group around a central duct in the missile. Each bomblet (14) has a small explosive charge (32) in addition to the main explosive charge (13). This small explosive charge is detonated by a detonator (30) and the subsequent explosion drives the bomblet (14) out of the tube (26). USE - Missiles loaded with bomblets.
