ABSTRACT:
A projectile which includes multiple warheads separated one from another within a casing, each warhead having its own independent detonator. The warheads are arranged in spaced relationship along the longitudinal axis of the casing, and the detonators are linked with a fuzing mechanism located at the forward region of the casing. Upon reaching the target, the rearmost warhead in the projectile is detonated and the remaining warheads are then detonated sequentially forwardly, ad seriatim, by the fuzing mechanism.
