The missile then fires the first stage rocket motor, which launches the missile from the tube — but burns out before leaving the tube to protect the operator [1]. When the missile is a safe distance from the operator the second stage fires, which rapidly accelerates the missile to burn out velocity of about Mach 3.5 four hundred meters away from the operator[1]. As the second stage burns out the three dart sub-munitions are released [1]. The darts are each 396 millimetres (15.6 in) long [1] with a diameter of 22 millimetres (0.87 in) [1] and weigh about 900 grams (32 oz)[1]. Each dart consists of a rotating fore-body with two canard fins attached to a non-rotating rear assembly which has four fins [1]. The rear assembly also houses the electronics that guide the missile[1]. The dart housing is made from a tungsten alloy, and contains approximately 450 g (16 oz) of explosive with a delayed impact activated fuze [1].
The missiles are guided by two laser beams projected into a two dimensional matrix by the aiming unit[1]. The laser is modulated according to its position in the projected matrix, this modulation is detected by each sub-munition and allows it to determine any steering correction [1]. The sub-munitions steer by briefly decelerating the rotating fore-body with a clutch [1]. The front wings then steer the missile in the appropriate direction. The three sub-munitions fly in a formation about 1.5 meters in radius, and have enough kinetic energy to maneuver to meet a target evading at 9G at 7,000 meters [1].

Is there such thing as a multi-firing RPG?
