Abstract: The invention concerns the domain of a charges which can be released, for example, from an aircraft to which they are fixed, and in particular a munition containing an incendiary gel made of hydrocarbons and gelatinizing agents, intended to have an incendiary effect on various targets on the ground.The invention enables the munition to be broken up above the ground thanks to means of distribution constituted of a detonating cord, gas-generating grains, a shield and a rod. These means of distribution ensure regular scattering of the incendiary gel before the impact on the ground. The invention also enables ignition of the incendiary gel on break-up of the munition thanks to means of ignition composed of ignition capsules.Application to munitions containing an incendiary gel, also to munitions containing a product to be scattered.

Abstract: The invention concerns a safety release device for a charge suspended from an aircraft. A so-called bus bar occupies two positions, the first called the "safety" position, in which the unlocking of any locking element connected to the charge is prevented, even if orders to this effect were given, and the second called the "cocked" position, which, in contrast, permits orders to be carried out once given. A system for suspending the charge cooperates with said bar, said system comprising a given number of means acting in such a way that, as long as the lug of the carrier vehicle is connected with the suspension system, displacement of said bar is impossible. Such a suspension system consists of a ring capable of undergoing a movement, particularly rotation, translation in a vertical plane, or rocking, only when the lug is no longer present in the opening of the ring, said movement freeing a means integral with the ring which previously impeded the movement of the bar.
