The invention concerns a process and apparatus for transporting and dropping a plurality of charges contained in a single container. Within the shell of the container is arranged a plurality of modules, the bodies of which contain a charge, which may particularly be military; said modules are extracted one by one, upon command, through the rear of the shell. This extraction can take place only if a general mechanical control element has moved from a position called the “safety”position to a position called the “cocked”position, a movement which can take place only when the means for fastening the container has been released from the lug holding it to the carrier vehicle. The invention is applied particularly to modular bombs having fragmentable modules designed for neutralization of relatively widespread ground targets.
