“After the rocket stage separates, the weapon's cone falls towards its target and detonates at a pre-programmed altitude.”
WHAT WE FOUND
Hello! I’d be happy to help you understand this. It turns out your description is accurate according to technical and military documentation. After a rocket stage separates—as seen with systems like the Super Loki—the payload or cone continues its journey . Guided by an Inertial Navigation Unit (INU), the system steers the missile down range towards its target . These devices are designed to reach or detonate at pre-programmed altitudes, often passing through ranges of 65 to 115 kilometers during their flight path . Because these operations involve dangerous goods, they are governed by strict safety and management protocols to ensure they hit their mark exactly as intended .
