Abstract: A method of delivering over the air, shelled portions of fluids or granular substances containing effective ingredients, to a target, is provided herein. The method includes the following stages: selecting a type and a size of the shelled portions containing the required effective ingredients, based on mission parameters and physical data of a scene containing the target; conveying the shelled portions to a delivery point, based on the mission parameters and the physical data; and ballistically delivering the shelled portions towards the target, wherein the shelled portions comprise fluids or granular substances covered by shells that provide the shelled portions a ballistic coefficient that is significantly higher than a ballistic coefficient of similar portions without the shells.
