Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0399907A1] The invention relates to the field of releasable loads, for example, from an aircraft to which they are fixed and in particular a munition containing an incendiary gel constituted from hydrocarbons and gelling agents and intended to develop an incendiary effect on various targets on the ground. The invention permits dispersion of the munition above ground by virtue of means of distribution constituted by a pyrotechnic belt (20), slabs of propergol (21, 22), a shield (6) and a connecting rod (24). These means of distribution ensure, before impact with the ground, regular spreading of the incendiary gel. The invention also permits ignition of the incendiary gel at the moment of dispersal of the munition by virtue of means of ignition composed of ignition capsules (23). Application the munitions containing an incendiary gel but also to munitions containing a product to be spread. <IMAGE>
