Abstract

An air droppable, air-tight warhead cannister containing a plurality of prranged bomblets, each bomblet having a novel pressure-sensitive fuze capable of being committed to an "armed" position by the presence of a predetermined fluid pressure in the cannister, and advanced to a fully "armed" position when said fluid pressure is dissipated and said bomblets dispersed from their prearranged disposition within the cannister.
