ABSTRACT:
A subwarhead which is adapted to be separated from a missile over a target area comprises an active part, a target detector and an aerofoil, the target detector and the aerofoil being pivotably mounted each on its own bearing shaft parallel with the line of symmetry of the active part in order to allow pivoting out of the target detector and of the aerofoil from a folded position to an unfolded position at the side of the active part in order to allow a controlled movement of scanning of the target area. Both the target detector and the aerofoil are provided with one or more displaceably arranged additional aerofoils for the purpose of increasing the braking area of the subwarhead in order to reduce the descent rate.
