ABSTRACT:
A plurality of individual containers holding ammunition bodies are arranged within a dispersion warhead. A reaction engine is provided for each container or each of a group of containers. The reaction engines are mounted on the exterior surfaces of the containers, preferably on the container bottom. A rocket engine fueled with a body of solid fuel can be used as the reaction engine. Ignition means are provided at each end of the body of fuel. A centrally positioned detonating channel extends between the ends of the body of solid fuel. A slot-shaped continuous gas channel extends through the body of solid fuel between its ends and also extends laterally outwardly from the detonating channel to the surface of the body.
