Minimum probability of collision during the dispensing procedure is desirable in the distribution of submunition, such as mines, bomblets, or subsidiary projectiles by means of rockets or shells. For this purpose, a dual ejection process is provided wherein the individual submunitions are accommodated severally in special dispensing units which units, in turn, are inserted as secondary elements in the rockets or shells. Upon primary ejection over the target area, the dispensing units are ejected, stabilized at a distance from the rockets or shells, and subjected to a deceleration different from that of the rockets or shells so that the flight paths diverge, thus precluding collision. Subsequently, in a secondary ejection, the submunition is ejected from the dispensing units.

A process for the distribution of submunition wherein a plurality of individual submunitions completely accommodated within at least one dispensing unit of a carrier projectile are released at a predetermined point in time, characterized in that the at least one dispensing unit is ejected in a defined fashion at a predetermined instant from the carrier projectile by being guided during the ejection movement in the carrier projectile, and is maintained in a stable flight position at a spacing from the carrier projectile; and that the carrier projectile and the at least one dispensing unit are differently decelerated so that the trajectories of the carrier projectile and the at least one dispensing unit diverge, and finally the plurality of individual submunitions which are completely accommodated within the at least one dispensing unit are ejected from the at least one dispensing unit.
