Abstract: A projectile having a payload, a first brake system and a second brake system at one side of the payload. A first explosive charge and a second explosive charge, separated from one another by a drive disk, are arranged at the other side of the payload and surrounded by a hollow projectile jacket.In order to render as simple as possible the construction of such projectile and in order to make available for the payload as large as possible part of the cross-section of the projectile, there is provided a latching or locking location at the projectile jacket for a container and the payload. The container and payload can remain in the projectile jacket as long as the initially effective brake system brakes the projectile. For slowly lowering the payload with the other brake system the payload leaves the latching location and thus the projectile jacket.
