Figure 2-15. APERS area-denial submunitions (FASCAM).<br />

The DP submunition shown in Figure 2-<strong>16</strong> has a shaped charge<br />

for penetrating hard targets but is also used against personnel.<br />

These submunitions are delivered by artillery or rockets. The arming<br />

ribbon serves two purposes: it not only arms the fuze as the<br />

submunition comes down. but it also stabilizes the submunition so<br />

that it hits the target straight on.<br />
