Abstract
Projectile with at least one expellable subprojectile. The projectile is provided with a nose element, which is arranged, in a predetermined position in the trajectory of the projectile, to be discarded, thereby causing a decelerating force on the projectile. The fore subprojectile is provided with a deceleration-sensing device, which is capable of initiating the expelling of the subprojectile as a consequence of sensing said deceleration force. The subprojectiles in behind are arranged to be expelled either as a consequence of sensing deceleration forces occurring on expelling of the subprojectile immediately in front of it, or alternatively to be expelled in a conventional way with a delay relative to one another achieved through pyrotechnic delay.
