Munitions can be stabilized in flight by parachute assemblies. These assemblies attach to the rear section of the munition to help nose-down positioning during their descent. The term 'submunition' generically describes any item of ordnance which is carried in or is ejected by a dispenser. Cluster bombs are the most well-known dispenser type munitions, which could be delivered by artillery or planes. In the present work, the load-extension behaviour and mechanical properties of woven ribbon fabrics for the cluster munitions have been studied. The studies show that the warp density contributes higher breaking load and Young's modulus at strip testing. Weave type has no contribution for the mechanical properties of fabric in tear test.
