Abstract
A submunition unit for a spin stabilized carrier projectile (1), with the submunition unit including an antenna disposed at the nose of its casing (7), and with the antenna (5) being covered by a protective cover (6). The casing (7) and the protective cover (6) are provided with respective axially overlapping collars (8, 9) which are each provided with respective opposed circumferential grooves (14, 15) to form an annular recess to accommodate an elastic securing ring (16). The securing ring, which is normally positioned within the innermost of the circumferential grooves, expands under the influence of centrifugal forces to connect the casing and protective cover together in a form-locking manner.
