Abstract

An infrared radiation-emitting projectile includes a casing and a contact head attached thereto, the casing containing an igniter-destructor capsule centrally positioned therein which contains an igniter-destructor charge, a layer of combustible flakes between the igniter-destructor capsule and the side wall of the casing, and an ignition-expediting material such as red phosphorus between the igniter-destructor capsule and the side wall of the casing.
