An ejection device for ejecting a plurality of submunitions ( ) having an adapter ( ) including a control unit ( ) and adapted for releasable fastening in an ejection barrel ( ) of a discharger ( ), and a submunitions cluster ( ) including the submunitions and adapted for releasable connection, both mechanical and electrical, with the adapter. In the assembled condition of the device, the submunitions cluster is connected with the adapter, permitting submunitions to be ejected from the submunitions cluster. The control unit of the adapter controls the device to eject submunitions in one or more of a variety of ejection modes, such as sequentially one by one or at least in part simultaneously. The period between ejection of two consecutive submunitions may be adjustable. The ejection device may be integrated into a discharging unit including at least one discharger ( ), such as a conventional discharging unit.

The method offers a phantom target for protecting land, air or water craft or the like against missiles that have a target seeking head operating in the infrared (IR) or radar (RF) range or simultaneously or serially in both wavelength ranges. A mass emitting radiation in the IR range (IR active mass) and a mass back-scattering RF radiation (RF active mass) are simultaneously brought into action in the correct position as phantom target.

A projectile to be fired by a electric ignition defensive projector attached to an object to be defended has a propellant charge and an active charge and ignition devices for igniting the propellant and active charges. The active charge-ignition device is a mechanical ignition device including a firing pin and a firing pin spring. The mechanical ignition device is tensioned and released by a grappling line which is connected to the projector or a part of a projectile which remains in the projector, and is likewise connected to the firing pin. After the projectile has been fired and when it has travelled through a range of fire that corresponds to the length of the grappling line, then the firing pin spring is tensioned by the now taut grappling line and the firing pin is subsequently released which then ignite the active charge of the projector via a percussion cap and a pyrotechnical igniter train.
