Abstract

The sabot (3) for use on a gun launched projectile (1) defines a propellant chamber (14) that is segmented by vanes (5) and retains propellant to boost the projectile as it emerges from the barrel of the gun. The sabot defines a convergent/divergent nozzle (15) which allows propellant gases to generate thrust. A burn-through plug (16) allows entry of gases from the main charge to ignite the propellant (20). The sabot is provided with stabilising fins (17) and a slipping obturator (19).
