A payload module for an aerial vehicle stores and deploys one or more submunition assemblies, which provide a portion of the vehicle's OML when stored, in a manner that preserves the aerodynamics of the aerial vehicle post-deployment. Pre-deployment a skin is aligned to a strongback such that the submunition assemblies are exposed through openings in the skin. Post-deployment, the skin rotates to cover any openings in the strongback exposed by the deployment of the submunition assemblies to restore the OML.
