Abstract
An incendiary warhead comprises a destructible body carrying a plurality of stacked incendiaries. Each incendiary comprises a housing containing a compressed three-part icendiary filling. The filling comprises a flame substance for forming an intense flame, a thermit unit for forming a red-hot slag, and a combustion transfer substance which projects into both the flame substance and the thermit substance to be ignited by the former and ignite the latter. A tail unit is mounted at a top end of the housing to control the rate of descent of the incendiary. The tail comprises a hook, a pair of chains connected to the hook, and a vane connected to the free end of each chain. An anchor point extends from a bottom end of the housing and is in the shape of an arrowhead having barbed side edges.
