ABSTRACT:
A submunition unit provided with a rotary parachute (3) as the sole parachute. The parachute, after release, initially is unable to be fully deployed due to reef loops (16) provided on the rigging lines (15) and held by a releasable holding device arrangement (4, 5, 6) and therefore acts as a deceleration and stabilization parachute at high flight velocities. The reef loops (16) are released after a predetermined period of time to permit the rigging lines (15) to fully extend and parachute (3) to become fully deployed or opened.
