ABSTRACT:
A discarding sabot munition utilizes a plurality of gusset strengthened st segments to structurally support and spacially position fore and aft bore-riding sabot members to reduce connecting mid-section mass. Radially disposed gusset plates permit a fin-stabilized projectile to be safely launched by a reduced mass sabot with increased velocity and kinetic energy.
