ABSTRACT:
A carrier projectile for aerodynamically braked submunition which can be ejected rearwardly from the tail end of the carrier projectile while contacting a cup-shaped base of the projectile. The carrier projectile has the inner edge of the fabric of a braking sail retained within the cup-shaped recess of the base of the projectile, with the outer edge of the fabric of the sail being equipped with centrifugal masses or flyweights mounted in proximity to the opening of the cup-shaped recess in the base. Provision is made to arrange the fabric of a radially outwardly tensionable braking sail in the already available recess in the base of the projectile, the braking sail being extended through the pulling action exerted thereon from the centrifugal flyweights.
