ABSTRACT:
A parachute pack sack with a submunition body affixed directly to grappling ropes of a parachute is expelled from a rapidly flying container which is mounted under a flight aggregate or flies independently. A pyrotechnic cutting device is actuated by a grappling rope after the tightening of the latter and, by means of a cutting piston driven by a combustion unit, cuts a pack sack closing line which results in an opening of the pack sack and in a deployment of the parachute. The combustion unit may be ignited with an adjustable start of the burning time whereby differing flying ranges and dispersion ranges of the submunition body can be achieved.
