Abstract
A warhead unit carrying a pay load and being suspended from a parachute which brakes the descent of the warhead unit. The pay load includes a sensor for detecting a target and a projectile-forming charge which is fired from the pay load when activated by the sensor. The pay load is rotated by jet nozzles first about a longitudinal axis and then about a diagonal axis after the point of suspension has been shifted from the center of the top surface of the pay load to a corner of the top surface of the pay load.
