Figure 2-8. Soviet-style fin assemblies. DISPENSERS 94032015 Dispensers may be classified as another type of dropped ordnance. Like bombs, they are carried by aircraft. Their payload, however, is smaller ordnance called submunitions. Submunitions are discussed later in this chapter, In Figure 2-9, the cutaway 2-8
shows the submunitions inside the dispenser body. Dispensers come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the payload inside. Some dispensers are reusable, and some are one-time-use items. Figure 2-9. Dispenser (cutaway section). Never approach a dispenser or any part of a dispenser you find on the battlefield. The payload of submunitions always scatters in the area where the dispenser hit the ground. Dropped Dispensers These dispensers (Figure 2-10, page 2-10) fall away from the aircraft and are stabilized in flight by fin assemblies. Dropped dispensers may be in one piece or in multiple pieces. All dropped dispensers use either mechanical time or proximity fuzing. These fuzes allow the payload to be dispersed at a predetermined height above the target. Multiple-piece dispensers open up and disperse their payload when the fuze functions. Single-piece dispensers eject their payload out of ports or holes in the body when the fuze functions. Attached Dispensers These dispensers stay attached to the aircraft and can be reloaded and used again. Their payload is dispersed out the rear or from the bottom of the dispenser. See Figure 2-11, page 2-11. 2-9
