Method and device for spread bombing

A device for spread bombing utilizing a plurality of guided bombs, with respective programmable storage devices, transported by a carrier aircraft near to a target area and simultaneously released from the carrier aircraft to utilize stored guide commands signals to guide the respective bombs independently of each other into different respective trajectories so that the bombs strike the target area in a predetermined coverage density corresponding to a selected target coverage pattern provided by selected different respective guide program signals simultaneously supplied to the storage devices and transformed into guide command signals stored in the respective storage devices of the individually guided bombs, said device comprising, in combination, a respective connector for each guided bomb;

• respective rudders on each guided bomb controlling the curvature of the respective trajectory and the plane of such curvature;
• respective storage elements on each guided bomb receiving enterable, critical measured control signals;
• respective power accumulators operable to return each rudder to the neutral position for ballistic flight of the associated guided bomb;
• and switches operatively associated with said power accumulator and released as soon as the entered measured control signals are attained by the associated guided bomb for operation of the power accumulators to return the rudders to the neutral position for such ballistic flight of the associated guided bomb.
