The spread bombing is effected by a plurality of guided bombs transported by a carrier aircraft near to a target area. The guided bombs are provided with respective programmable storage devices and a freely selectable target coverage pattern is provided by supplying the storage devices with selected different respective guide programs which can be adjusted, both on the ground, prior to an attack on a target area, and in the carrier aircraft, during the attack, as a function of the locating of the target and the preselected target coverage pattern. The different guide programs are transformed into respective different guide commands which are stored in the respective storage devices of the individually guided bombs. The bombs are simultaneously released from the carrier aircraft and the stored guide commands guide the respective bombs into different respective trajectories so that the bombs strike the target area in a predetermined coverage density corresponding to the selected target coverage pattern. The carrier aircraft carries a weapon computer by which the aircraft can be brought into a flight position predeterminable by the weapon computer for simultaneous release of the guided bombs.
