Abstract:
The invention relates to a sub-munition unit (1) having a warhead (2) that comprises an antenna (3) on the bow side, as seen in the direction of flight, for target acquisition, and is connected on the aft side to a releasably attached parachute cartridge (4). In order to protect the antenna (3) sufficiently against both mechanical loads and aerodynamic stresses using a simple protective device, and without thereby negatively affecting the function of the antenna (3), an antenna protection cover (5) is releasably disposed on the warhead in front of the antenna (3) so as to protect the antenna (3), and the warhead (2) comprises an operating mechanism causing the antenna protection cover (5) to be ejected when the parachute cartridge (4) is released from the warhead (2).
Abstract:
A flexible wing which is connected to a submunition provides a substantia vertical descent and provides torque which power submunition electronics. The flexible wing is deployed in a low drag configuration to avoid collision with other submunitions. The flexible wing is canted to allow rotation of the wing.
Abstract:
In an intelligent multi-rotor rescue thrower, a throwing projectile head is located at a foremost end of the thrower, a parachute storage bin is mounted at a center of a front end of the throwing projectile head, a rear end of the throwing projectile head is connected to a projectile body shell through threads, and a first splitter plate, a second splitter plate, and a third splitter plate are directly connected to the projectile body shell through slide grooves built in the projectile body shell to equally divide a space in a cavity of the projectile body shell; connecting flanges tightly connect the projectile body shell to motors, a rotor is connected to an upper end of each of the motors, and three rotors are provided in the space in the cavity of the projectile body shell.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is for imparting, in a continuous sequence, a predetermined rotational movement to a warhead releasably housed in a protective canister and ejected out in ballistic ejection trajectories from the canister. The canister is spun to the desired rotational speed by flow of combustion gases through gas outlet nozzles discharging in the outer periphery of the canister and supplied from a central combustion chamber in which a propellant powder charge is combusted. The combustion gases are then led from the combustion chamber, in the final phase of the propellant charge combustion, through gas outlets facing towards the warhead and initially covered by the propellant charge and exposed as a result of the combustion, for ejecting the warhead out of the canister.
Abstract:
A fuse assembly embodying a detonator movable by centrifugal force into alignment with a firing pin held retracted by a drogue and drag line and movable forwardly into engagement with the detonator by impact, the fuse assembly being attached to a grenade which, in turn, is attached to a projectile, for firing the grenade upon impact of the projectile with a target.
