ABSTRACT:
An airborne system (10) and method of dispensing a plurality of sub-units (22) such that the ground plane impact pattern of the plurality of sub-units (22) substantially corresponds to a particular geometric target area. An onboard control module (150) including a microprocessor (130) which receives flight data (138) and a selected target data (140) also has a program store of sub-unit ejection sequences (132) and a logic selection of sub-unit ejection velocities (134). The microprocessor (130) selects an appropriate sub-unit ejection sequence and individual sub-unit ejection velocity in accordance with the flight and selected target data and effects a release of the plurality of sub-units in a manner such that they disperse and impact in the pattern of the selected target.
