ABSTRACT:
A dispenser-launched, spin-armed munition is provided with spin-imparting ans made up of a set of helically-oriented primary vanes, having an outer envelope substantially equal to that of the munition body, attached to the body, and a set of helically-oriented, resilient, flexible, extension vanes attached to the primary vanes and extending outwardly therebeyond to increase the effective vane area. The flexible vanes are folded inwardly when the munition is inserted into its launch tube and spring outwardly after launch. The flexible vanes are removably attached to the rigid vanes by rivets in such manner that the flexible vanes are separated from the rigid vanes by the airstream at a predetermined spin rate.
