Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0807798A1] The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for bringing about, from a carrier projectile (1, 9, 14, 29, 36a, 36b) in the form of a shell, missile or equivalent, a concentrated fragment sheaf (35, 40, 44) in the direction of a target detected by a homing sensor (7, 10, 15-18) forming part of the carrier projectile. The invention is particularly characterized in that it uses a limited fragment spread within previously determined limits in the direction directly towards the target instead of, as is otherwise normal, scattering the fragments radially around the entire circumference of the carrier projectile. <IMAGE>
