Abstract
A missile includes a separable nose cone having an ejectable shell cooperating with a support element. The missile has a body with a main longitudinal axis and a nose cone having a shell connected by a rear end thereof to a support element of the missile and defined around a secondary longitudinal axis. The support element has a housing, and the rear end of the shell has a thickness adapted to be received in the housing in a contacting manner. The housing is configured to allow the shell to pivot and to maintain contact while the orientation of the shell is such that the secondary longitudinal axis is at an angle smaller than an ejection angle in relation to said main longitudinal axis, and to end the contact when the secondary longitudinal axis is at an angle higher than or equal to the ejection angle in such a way as to eject the shell from the missile.
