Abstract
An orientation and stabilization device for a submunition is disclosed. A w profile cylindrical submunition body has a single fin attached thereto at an asymmetrically located position with respect to the central axis of the cylindrical body. The fin is tip weighted in such a way that, when the submunition falls through the air, a constant spin and vertical velocity is established, with the major axis of the cylindrical body disposed at an angle to the descent path.
