Projectile on a very strong string. Scares the hell out of the enemy and still falls in line with military spending cut backs.

On a more serious note, I have seen numerous photos like this. I asked someone involved with artillery R&D and was told it was using an infrared trigger device. Don't know the science but something to do with gases being pushed ahead of the projectile. Can't verify any of this, just hearsay.
