For strategic guided missiles with a range over 1.000 kilometers, their warheads are attached to the missile body by connecting components such as an explosion hatch, an explosion lock, anchoring pins and other fast-release connectors. In order to satisfy the demand for range and re-entry into the atmosphere, at a certain instant during the guided missile's flight, the rocket engine is turned off, and the connecting components are blown away, thereby separating the warhead and missile body. The warhead then, following its inertia ballistics, flies independently toward the target. There is a controlled and reliable device on the missile for separating the warhead. This is a specialized system, i.e., the warhead disengagement system. Based on the difference in location and direction of the separating forces, the system can be categorized into three types: ejection, maneuvering and combination.
