Abstract. One method of enhancing the target effect of modern artillery
and rocket systems is to use submunition warheads. This paper
proposes an analysis model for the performance of submunition warheads.
In developing this model we have taken into account two
design aspects characteristic of this type of munition: a uniform
distribution for submunition impact points, and a surface density for
these, within imposed limits. In this paper we analyze three
essential aspects of design and submunition warhead (cluster warhead): choosing
the right model for simulation of the submunition trajectory within
the constraints of minimum time and numerical precision; choosing the
method of ejecting the submunition, imposing the condition of optimal
dispersion; and choosing the altitude for the submunition ejection, also
in the condition of optimal dispersion.
