Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0577450A1] The present invention relates mainly to a munition piece, especially to a submunition piece comprising target detection means. The subject of the invention is a munition piece, especially a submunition piece (7) comprising a charge (2) firing a projectile, especially a core-generating charge of firing axis DELTA , and target detection means, the said munition piece being intended to be driven in a movement relative to the ground, allowing it to locate a target, the said movement comprising a rotation about an axis A and a translation of instantaneous speed vo, the said munition piece being characterised in that the target detection means comprise a plurality of selectable detection axes delta 1 to delta n, and in that it comprises means making it possible at each moment to select, for detection purposes, a detection axis delta i, for which the distance E between the point Mi of intersection of the axis delta i with the ground (6) and the point M' of impact of the projectile on the ground is minimum. The invention is used for the production of munitions and submunitions. The invention is used mainly for the production of anti-tank submunitions. <IMAGE>
