ABSTRACT:
A selectable mode multi-mode missile carrying submunitions and incorporating guidance and target seeking functions includes triggering or actuation of the submunitions by programming function on the ground or on board another weapon platform or via a link from the ground or said the weapon platform. The submunitions may also be actuated by an impact function. The programming function incorporates or interacts with mode determining or setting devices that cause the missile and its submunitions to selectively operate either in a penetrator mode, a distributed penetrator mode, or in a separation mode. The submunitions are actuated independently, in sequence, or in common with each other depending upon the operating mode selected.
