ABSTRACT:
Warhead for bombs, projectiles, rockets and the like having a casing with several projectiles accommodated therein. The projectiles are disposed in launcher tubes which are connected with each other by a common central connecting component to form an independent unit in a symmetrical arrangement with respect to the axis of the component. The independent unit is equipped with a descent-retarding device on one side thereof positioned toward one direction of the axis, while the other side is provided with a stabilizing device toward the other direction of the axis to vertically position the axis during descent. Preferred embodiments use parachutes as descent-retarding devices and rigid stabilizer rods or flexible members to interconnect a stabilizing weight with the respective independent units. Accommodations are made to telescope the stabilizer rods into one another to limit the total space utilized in the stored position. In the embodiments utilizing flexible members, the weights are provided with a recess at the undersides thereof to accommodate the next adjacent parachute and independent unit when in the stored position in the warhead.
