Disclosed is a system for the holding of multiple warheads, placed in a missile rotating on its longitudinal axis and dropped in trajectory through an end of the missile. Each stage of the warhead includes at least two distinct parts which have to be separated laterally at the moment of dropping, the missile including a casing inside which the warhead is placed. For each stage, mechanisms to fix the parts at the said stage are arranged so that each stage forms a compact unit so as not to cause major radial stresses against the casing due to the centrifugal force created by the rotating missile. The fixing mechanisms are retractable at the moment when the parts are dropped, by means of inertia blocks that are subjected to the centrifugal force. The invention can be applied to sub-munitions and mortar shells.

A system for holding a payload consisting of multiple warheads, placed in a missile, that rotates on its longitudinal axis, and dropped, in trajectory, through an end of said missile, said payload comprising: at least one stage, which includes at least two distinct parts which have to be separated at the moment of dropping, said missile comprising a casing within which the said payload is placed, said system comprising, for each stage, means for fixing the parts of said stage so that each stage forms a compact unit so as to make longitudinal translation in said casing of said payload easier and with lower stress, said fixing means being retractable at the moment when the parts are dropped; and means connected to said fixing means for ejecting said fixing means.
