An ammunition unit, such as a missile, the casing of which contains at least one explosive charge as well as warhead modules arranged in or on the fuselage or casing that comprise a constituent part of the unit's warhead function when the explosive charge is actuated. The warhead effect modules are of modular design, and the various modules are secured to the fuselage or casing by securing devices and/or retention parts. The device includes a range of modules pertaining to different types of warhead effects. When engaging an actual type of target the ammunition unit is assembled with an array of modules-selected from the range of modules-matched to different types of targets or engagement situations, with the array of modules secured to the fuselage or casing by securing devices.

Device with selectable units that are fired or launched

A device and method are provided for sealing off an explosive charge compartment in a shell of the type in which the shell includes a shell case at its forward region and an element which is inserted into said shell case to cover an explosive charge and is provided with an outer annular abutment surface abutting against the inner contour of the shell case. The device includes a strand of sealant compound which is applied at least along an edge of the upper end portion of the element covering the explosive charge and a radially expendable ring which is forced by radial flaring against the sealant compound to straddle at least a joint between the edge of the upper end portion of the covering element and the inner contour of the shell case to accurately follow inner contours of the element and the shell case.
