Abstract: A mechanical system for self-destruction of a munition, in particular a carrier shell submunition, is provided in a munition having a warhead initiated by a pyrotechnic sequence, a main striker and a priming device composed of a slide movable between a safety position and an armed position and which has a device for priming the charge. The self destruction system includes a secondary striker mounted inside a receptacle of a slide and a control device to release the secondary striker after a preset delay. Secondary striker is integral with a holding element and held abutting a seat by the urging of an arming spring. The control device of the secondary striker has a corrosive agent designed to chemically attack the holding element to release it from its seat. When the holding element is released, secondary striker is translationally moved to contact the detonator to destroy the munition.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic chain igniter device for cargo warhead sub-ammunition including an explosive charge contained in an enclosure, comprising a first striker mobile in a longitudinal bore of a body for striking a primer, a slider carrying the primer, the slider being slidably mounted in a transverse groove in the body and being adapted for sliding between a safety position and an armed position, wherein the safety position is defined by the slider being misaligned with the first striker and the armed position is defined by the primer being substantially aligned with the first striker. The first striker is adapted for striking the primer when the slider is in the armed position and when the sub-ammunition impacts a target. At least one device for blocking the slider in the safety position is provided.

Abstract: A device with a stabilizing ribbon fastened to the rear of the body of a bomblet includes a first loop of ribbon with a relatively long lengthwise dimension and a second loop of ribbon with a relatively short lengthwise dimension. The two loops are fastened to the same point on the rear of the body and are rotationally integral with each other. The device improves the deployment of the stabilizing ribbon and the aerodynamic stabilizing and braking of a bomblet.
