Abstract
A deceleration element is provided for attachment to a tail end of a submunition unit for deployment when the submunition unit is ejected from a spin stabilized carrier projectile for reducing velocity and spin of the submunition unit. The deceleration element includes two approximately circular, air-tight, planar textile fabric layers of essentially the same size having a diameter exceeding the diameter of the submunition unit and circumferentially sewn together to form an inflatable interior between the two fabric layers. The fabric layer disposed closest to the tail end of the submunition unit is clamped by fasteners to the tail end of the submunition unit and has a front side facing the tail end of the submunition unit for encountering air when the deceleration unit is deployed. At least four air capture pockets are disposed at the front side of the one fabric layer and are distributed at regular intervals in a circumferential direction. At least one air inlet opening is provided in the one fabric layer leading to the inflatable interior between the two fabric layers and is disposed in the region of at least one of the air pockets.
