ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for reducing the rate of rotation of a spinning submunition unit having a tail end provided with a deployable braking device, from a time after the submunition unit is ejected from a spin stabilized carrier projectile until the braking device is deployed. The device includes a plurality of bands arranged to form a star-shaped symmetrical band structure for placement around the braking device. Each of the bands has a free end provided with a wind pocket.
