Abstract

The invention relates to a projectile for launching and dispersing electromagnetic decoys. The projectile essentially comprises a sleeve which co-operates with a sleeve cap to form a case open at one end. The sleeve contains a decoy carrying piston and is detachably closed by a closure member. The decoy carrying piston comprises shells in the form of cylindrical sectors which keep the decoys arranged in a multi-cell cylinder as long as the piston head is not outside the sleeve. Special shaping of the shells and radical springs produce simultaneous dispersion of all the shells when the projectile operates.
