An active component of submunition for utilization from a carrier against different target objects, especially against semi-hard and hard or heavily armored target objects; as well as warheads for this purpose and flechettes which are preferably deployed over the targets through the intermediary of such warheads. The active component incorporates at least one warhead having flechettes, which is equipped with a propellant or propulsion mechanism for the acceleration of the warhead in the direction of effect for the flechettes, and with an ejector piston for additional acceleration of the flechettes through the ejection from the precedingly accelerated warhead.

An active component of articles of submunition which are deployable from a carrier against different types of target objects, especially such as semi-hard and heavily armored target objects, said active component comprising at least one warhead having a housing; a plurality of flechettes arranged axially-parallel within said housing; a propulsion mechanism for effectuating the acceleration of the warhead in the direction of effectiveness for said flechettes, said propulsion mechanism including means for imparting a rotational acceleration to said warhead about the longitudinal axis thereof; means for imparting an acceleration to an ejecting piston for imparting an additional acceleration to said flechettes for ejection thereof from the precedingly accelerated warhead, a coaxial stack of said warheads of substantially full-caliber size being arranged in said carrier; an inflatable ejector hose meanderingly extending within said carrier along surface portions of said warheads; and means for rupturing said carrier and facilitating said hose to radially expel said warheads in different directions from said ruptured carrier. An active component of articles of submunition which are deployable from a carrier against different types of target objects, especially such as semi-hard and heavily armored target objects, said active component comprising at least one warhead having a housing; a plurality of flechettes arranged axially-parallel within said housing; a propulsion mechanism for effectuating the acceleration of the warhead in the direction of effectiveness for said flechettes, said propulsion mechanism including means for imparting a rotational acceleration to said warhead about the longitudinal axis thereof; means for imparting an acceleration to an ejecting piston for imparting an additional acceleration to said flechettes for ejection thereof from the precedingly accelerated warhead, a plurality of axially-parallel stacks of said warheads being arranged within said carrier, said warheads being preassembled in divided profiled shells extending about a central ejecting hose, and said shells being mounted as a rotationally-symmetrical unit within said carrier.
