when they receive a signal from metallic objects. These submunitions, similar to the APERS area-denial submunitions that are shown in Figure 2-15 on page 2-14, also have antidisturbance and self-destruct fuzing. AT and APERS area-denial mines are usually found deployed together. Figure 2-19. AT area-denial submunitions (FASCAM). 2-16
PROJECTED ORDNANCE All projected ordnance is fired from some type of launcher or gun tube. Photographs and NEWS of projected ordnances are shown in Appendix C. Projected ordnance falls into the following five subgroups: Ž Projectiles. Ž Mortars. Ž Rockets. Ž Guided missiles. Ž Rifle grenades. PROJECTILES Projectiles range from 20 millimeters to 16 inches in diameter and from 2 inches to 4 feet in length. They can be filled with explosives, chemicals (to include riot-control agents such as CS), white phosphorus (WP), illumination flares, or submunitions. Projectile bodies can be one piece of metal or multiple sections fastened together. Projectiles, like bombs, can have impact or proximity fuzing. They can also be fuzed with time-delay fuzing that functions at a preset time after firing. For safety reasons, all projectiles should be considered as having proximity fuzing. Getting too close to proximity fuzing will cause the fuze to function, and the projectile will blow up. Depending on the type of filler and the design of the projectile, the fuze can be in the nose, as shown in Figure 2-20, page 2-18, or in the base, as shown in Figure 2-21, page 2-18. There are two ways projectiles are stabilized, by spin or fin. Spin-stabilized projectiles use rotating bands near the rear section to stabilize the projectile. See Figure 2-22, page 2-19. Riding along the internal lands and grooves of the gun tube, these bands create a stabilizing spin as the projectile is fired. Fin-stabilized projectiles 2-17
