ABSTRACT:
A ballistic missile is provided with an incendiary-type payload in which the incendiary composition is distributed around the ignition channel of the projectile within a plurality of successively disposed annular containers formed from a light metal alloy. Upon detonation, the individual containers forming the payload are successively ejected from the tail of the projectile in a ring-like pattern, and remain intact upon impact with the targeted terrain whereby the desired incendiary effect continues for a prolonged predetermined time.
