Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0918205A1] The shell contains a charge (9) which operates at an angle (7) to the direction of travel (8). The shell is fitted with rocket jets (41) which can either spin or slow the shell down as it approaches the target area. The shell is fitted with an infrared sensor (6) which scans to the side of the direction of travel (12). When a target is detected the spinning charge is discharged at the target by ejecting backwards from the shell case resulting in an even slower rate of forward travel.
