Additional Information for Unguided Dummy Submunition
Unguided dummy submunitions are inert or non-explosive components that are designed to simulate the weight, size, and shape of actual warheads or explosive submunitions used in guided missiles. These dummy submunitions are typically used for training, testing, or other non-combat purposes.
Unlike live warheads or explosive submunitions, unguided dummy submunitions do not contain any explosive materials or guidance systems. They are often made from materials such as metal or plastic and are painted to resemble real warheads or submunitions.
These dummy submunitions are used to simulate the behavior and characteristics of actual warheads or submunitions during training exercises or testing scenarios. They allow military personnel to practice handling, loading, and deploying these components without the risk of accidental explosions or damage.
It's important to note that unguided dummy submunitions are not intended for use in combat or as actual explosive components. They are solely used for training and testing purposes to ensure the safe and effective use of guided missile warheads and explosive components.
