ABSTRACT:
A hypervelocity ammunition round in which a fin stabilized artillery projile contains a plurality of subcaliber gun tubes for launching subcaliber fin stabilized flechette projectiles from the artillery projectile at a predetermined point in its trajectory, as the artillery projectile performs as a moving gun platform to more effectively defeat a multiplicity of targets through the kinetic energy impact of the subcaliber projectiles. The round utilizes a traveling charge arrangement in launching both the artillery projectile and each of the subcaliber projectiles.
