Aircraft (10) carries at least two clusters of barrel assemblies. At least one cluster is oriented normal to the longitudinal axis of aircraft (10) and at least one other cluster is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of aircraft (10). Each cluster comprises a plurality of barrel assemblies, with each barrel having a plurality of axially disposed projectiles therein. Each projectile is associated with a discrete, sequentially activated propellant charge for propelling it through the muzzle of the barrel. Various methods of deploying a multiplicity of projectiles onto a target from aircraft (10) are also described and claimed. The projectiles deployment might occur at any time whils aircraft (10) is approaching the target, overflying the target, or departing from the target. The projectiles may include smoke canisters, high explosive canisters, flares, electronic and thermal countermeasures, mines, grenades or cameras.

L'invention concerne un avion d'attaque (10) portant au moins deux bombes à dispersion à ensembles tubes. Au moins une bombe à dispersion est orientée perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de l'avion (10), et au moins une bombe à dispersion est orientée parallèlement audit axe longitudinal dudit avion (10). Chaque bombe à dispersion comprend une pluralité d'ensembles tubes, chaque tube comprenant une pluralité de projectiles axialement disposés. Chaque projectile est associé à une charge de fluide propulsif distincte, activée séquentiellement de façon à propulser ledit projectile par l'intermédiaire d'un lance-grenades. L'invention concerne également différents procédés permettant de lancer une multiplicité de projectiles sur une cible à partir d'un avion d'attaque (10). Le lancement des projectiles peut s'effectuer à un moment quelconque lorsque l'avion (10) s'approche de ladite cible, la survole, ou s'en éloigne. Les projectiles peuvent comprendre des étuis fumigènes, des contenants très explosifs, des fusées éclairantes, des contre-mesures électroniques et chimiques, des mines, des grenades ou des caméras.
