ABSTRACT:
A bomblet has a casing and a targeting device provided with a reflector swingably secured to the casing. The reflector has a position of rest in which it is situated within a cross-sectional outline of the casing and a working position in which it is in a deployed state externally of the casing. A first guide arm is articulated to the reflector to provide for a relative pivotal motion about a first pivotal axis, and to the casing to provide for a relative pivotal motion about a second pivotal axis. A second guide arm is articulated to the reflector to provide for a relative pivotal motion about a third pivotal axis, and to the casing to provide for a relative pivotal motion about a fourth pivotal axis. All the pivotal axes are parallel to and spaced from one another and are perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the bomblet. The guide arms guide the reflector in a swinging motion from the position of rest into the working position. The reflector has a center of gravity located, in the position of rest, offset from the longitudinal axis in a direction of the swinging motion, whereby, upon rotary motion of the bomblet, the reflector is moved by centrifugal forces from the position of rest into the working position. Further, a locking engagement is provided for immobilizing the reflector in the working position.
