A B S T R A C T In a munitions system, a cylindrical canister is fired over a target. The canister carries a target sensing infrared device and, when a target is detected, a projectile is fired downward from the bottom of the overflying missile. A spinning motion is imparted to the missile to stabilize its flight, and a wobbling motion is imparted to the missile to provide a larger target area. The projectile forms a concave lower end to the missile and is fired by an explosive charge. The present invention relates to a missile for a submunition adapted to be launched along a trajectory to overfly a target comprising: a missile having a vertical spin axis; means for launching the missile, along a trajectory; means for imparting a spinning motion to the missile about said axis; and means for imparting a lateral precessional motion to the missile relative to the trajectory.
