Abstract

The invention features use of a probe that is flexible until after the munition is projected, so that it may be folded up and compactly stored despite considerable length, but is fairly rigid as the munition descends toward earth, and cooperates with other mechanism to explode the munition when the end of the probe engages an obstruction such as the ground.
