ABSTRACT:
A submunition has a metallic body 1 a sensor 4 for sensing the presence of metal and an extendable probe (e.g. a spring 3) separating the sensor 4 and body 1 to avoid interference with the sensor. A circuit including the metal sensor and an impact sensor detonates the submunition if impact with a metal body is detected; if impact only is detected the submunition adopts the role of a mine.
