ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system for securing sub-munitions on board a carrier. The system uses straps. Each strap is fixed by one end to a container wall by a tensioning means, and its other end is engaged in a cylindrical lock element mounted on another wall. The cylindrical lock element is connected to a resistant torque generator device which is itself connected to a torque limiting device which gets triggered at a determined threshold value, so as to release the cylindrical lock element in rotation in order to release the end of the strap. In these systems, the straps are released less suddenly than in the known systems, and they are released with perfect simultaneity. A development enables the sub-munitions to be ejected with controlled angles of incidence in relation to the trajectory of the carrier.
