Abstract

A kinetic energy rod warhead deployment system and method featuring jettison housings each including a plurality of lengthy individual projectiles therein and a navigatable carrier for the jettison housings. The jettison housings are ejected in the vicinity of targets whereupon the individual projectiles are deployed in the trajectory path of each target.
