【 摘 要 】

The effectiveness of a weapon system isenhanced manifold when it is incorporated with submunitions instead ofbeing a unitary one. A large unitary warhead produces effects that aretoo concentrated and localised for many target types, resulting in avery high probability of either causing no damage or an over-kill. Thesubmunition warhead incorporating a single-stage ejection process hasthe drawbacks of lesser area coverage and non-uniform distribution ofsubmunitions. To overcome the above drawbacks, dispensing mechanismswith multistage ejection of submunitions are being employed worldwide bythe warhead designers. Extensive work has been carried out by theauthors to achieve wide area coverage by using multistage ejectioninstead of single-stage ejection.
