Step-by-Step: BONUS Ammunition Journey

From Launch to Impact: The Path of the 155mm BONUS

01.

Launch

The BONUS round is fired from a 155mm artillery tube after range and target profiles are set. With a programmable fuse, the ammunition is fully adaptable to mission needs.

02.

Flight Path

Traveling on a parabolic arc, the round can reach targets up to 35 kilometers (21.7 miles) away, offering extended range and precision.

03.

Attack module Deployment

A timer fuse triggers the first expulsion, ejecting two cylinders from the shell casing as the body and nose fall away. The cylinders enter a phase to reduce velocity and spin. After 8 seconds, a second expulsion releases the attack modules, starting their descent.

04.

Descent & Scanning

The attack modules deploy winglets and begin to corkscrew downwards at 900rpm, independently scanning a 32,000 square meter area for potential targets using advanced sensor technology.
