Abstract
The technical scope of the invention is that of projectiles comprising at least one payload associating at least one explosive warhead and at least one target sensor, such warhead having an inclined direction of action with respect to the projectile axis and whose initiation is triggered further to the detection of a target by the sensor, said sensor having an observation direction close to the action direction. The projectile incorporates scanning means enabling the payload, at a given time during the trajectory, to be provided with a ratio of longitudinal velocity V over spin rate &OHgr; which is less than or equal to a limit value so as to ensure ground scanning in the observation direction at a sufficiently small pitch to enable a target to be detected.
