ABSTRACT:
A warhead adapted to be mounted to a conventional missile fired from anti-tank weaponry is formed with a piercing cone secured to a base containing a source of knockout gas and an actuator assembly. Upon piercing an aircraft fuselage, a collar encircling the cone translates rearwardly causing deployment of panels pivotally secured to the base portion and connected to the collar via connecting rods. Movement of the collar into wedging contact with the base of the piercing cone deploys the panels to their maximum extended position and simultaneously actuates the trigger assembly causing the knockout gas to be delivered into the aircraft interior through the piercing cone projecting through the fuselage into the interior.
