A device for neutralizing military objects by means of sub-munitions released by a mother rocket onto mobile targets on the ground. Each sub-munition (1) is provided with a military charge (2) and a wide range sensor (3) and descends while suspended from a parachute and turns uniformly about a vertical axis of symmetry (10), the angle formed by the firing axis (5) and the vertical being constant. Superimposed upon this rotational movement of the sub-munition, the periodic oscillatory movement of an orientable mirror (14) permits varying the direction of the optical axis (8′) with respect to the firing axis during the detection phases of a target and the guiding of the sub-munition towards the detected target. Thus at each oscillation period of the orientable mirror the complete image of the circular area on the ground is obtained. In the last phase of firing, when aimed at the target, the optical axis is maintained in the direction of the firing axis.

A device for neutralizing military objects by launching a mother rocket above the said objects and releasing an assembly of sub-munitions towards elementary targets which are mobile on the ground and are distributed in large numbers over an extended area, each of the said sub-munitions having a military charge capable of being fired and each sub-munition being suspended from an aircraft in such a position that the sub-munition\s firing axis forms a constant angle with the vertical comprising: means ensuring the sub-munition\s substantially uniform rotational movement about the vertical axis passing through its suspension point from the aircraft in such manner that, when said aircraft has a substantially uniform vertical descending movement, the firing axis effects a spiral scanning of the ground so as to search for a target; means for detecting the said target constituted by a sensor having a narrow field of view, comprising one or several detectors and an optical system orienting and concentrating the radiation of the detected target on the detectors; the firing on said military charge being initiated when a detection of the target is effected at an amplitude lower than a limit imposed by the range of the military charge, characterized in that the said optical system of the sensor comprises a deviator of low inertia interposed on the sensor\s optical path and activated during the detection phase by a periodic oscillatory movement in such manner as to control the direction of the optical axis between two limited positions, the movement of the said deviator superimposed upon the uniform rotational movement of the sub-munition about its vertical axis scanning a circular area on the ground in each oscillation period and the said deviator being maintained in a fixed position so that the optical axis of the sensor is substantially parallel to the firing axis during the last phase of operation of the device corresponding to firing the military charge at the detected target.
