ABSTRACT:
A submunition which is arranged to be separated from a missile or projectile for example, a shell canister or the like, over a target area including an active part, in the form of a warhead, a target detector and means for imparting to the submunition a controlled rotation for scanning of the target area in a helical pattern during the descent of the submunition towards the target area. The target detector is displaceable in order to allow a free view at the side of the warhead. The two diametrically situated aerofoils are pivotable from a folded position, in which the aerofoils connect with the outer surface of the submunition, to a 90.degree. unfolded position, in which the two aerofoils form a braking area for controlling the rate of descent of the submunition. The two aerofoils are pivotally arranged via a double joint.
