摘要:
A method for generating power in a gravity dropped munition. The method including: attaching a cable from a generator associated with the munition to a portion of an aircraft; separating the munition from the aircraft to pull the cable from the munition; converting the pulling of the cable to a rotation; producing power from the rotation; and providing the power to an internal component of the munition.

A mounting set for use in mounting an external stores to a mounting station of an aerospace vehicle includes a mounting bracket arrangement and a strap arrangement. The bracket arrangement is configured for selective reversible engagement with respect to the mounting station and for cooperating with the strap arrangement. The strap arrangement is configured for securing the bracket arrangement to the stores in load bearing abutment therewith to enable transfer of loads between the stores and the mounting station via said bracket arrangement, in operation of said mounting set. A mounting system is also provided for mounting an external stores to an aerospace vehicle having two or more mounting stations, including a mounting set for each mounting station. Mounting methods are also provided.
摘要:
A device for enabling safe/arm functionality in a gravity dropped weapon detachably connected to an airframe. The device including: an elastic element disposed in a shell of the weapon; a releasable connection between the weapon and the airframe to release a stored and/or generated energy in the elastic element; and a piezoelectric member connected to one end of the elastic member for converting the one or more of the stored and generated energy to an electrical energy. Wherein the releasable connection includes: a link having a movable connection for movement of the link relative to the shell between a first position constraining the elastic element from movement and a second position releasing the elastic member to generate the electrical energy; and a lanyard for tethering the link to the airframe such that the link is moved to the second position upon the weapon being released from the airframe.
摘要:
A weapon and weapon system, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same. In one embodiment, the weapon includes a warhead including destructive elements and a guidance section with a seeker configured to guide the weapon to a target. The seeker includes a detector configured to receive a distorted signal impinging on an objective lens from the target, memory configured to store target criteria and a correction map, and a processor configured to provide a correction signal based on the distorted signal, the target criteria and the correction map to guide the weapon to the target.
摘要:
A kit for upgrading a non-guided shell to an airborne guided shell includes a device to couple the kit to the body of the non-guided shell. A fastener provides for fastening the resulting airborne shell to an aircraft and for detaching it there from. The kit also provides for causing the trajectory of the shell to change once detached from the aircraft according to instructions received in the kit; for determining the position of the shell; and for transferring data from the carrying platform to the guidance kit.
摘要:
A reduced collateral damage bomb (RCDB) bomb casing is described and disclosed along with the system and method for making it. The RCDB bomb casing may be formed from conventional or penetrating warhead bomb casings. The RCDB bomb casing has a filler material/materials disposed on the interior walls that will assist in controlling the collateral damage caused by the finished bomb but not prevent the appropriate destructive power being delivered to a selected target.
摘要:
The object of the inventive method and device for controlling and/or extinguishing fires is to extend the range of means for transporting devices to a fire site, substantially reduce the time for the operating preparation thereof and to exclude a fragmentation field caused by the device explosion which ensures the momentary conversion of a fire-extinguishing composition into a fine cloud associated with a simultaneous airblast effect produced to a fire area and a maximum distribution of said fire-extinguishing composition through the fire volume. Said method for controlling and/or putting out a fire consists in effecting the fire area by an airblast and the high-speed flow of the air-dispersed mixture of the fire-extinguishing composition (7) produced by the explosion of a fire-suppressing device (2) which comprises a dispersing charge (8) and a container (6) with the fire-extinguishing composition (7). The container is provided with structural elements for transporting the fire-suppressing device (2) to the fire site and/or for placing said device on a fire travel path, said structural elements being detached from the container (6) prior to the dispersing charge (8) explosion. The fire-suppressing device (2) for carrying out said method comprises the container (6) with the fire-extinguishing composition (7) and a dispersing charge (8), a blasting fuse (9) and a stabilizer (10). Said device also comprises a suspension system (3) which is provided with releasing mechanism (15) and force-separating elements (16), mounted on the external surface of the container (6) symmetrically to a plane passing through the device center-of-mass, is embodied in the form of container (6) embracing elements which are spaced from each other and rigidly connected by means of a faceplate (12) provided with hasps (13) and connected to the stabilizer (10) bottom by a flexible connection (14).
摘要:
A process for making multi-section bomb casings of high strength alloy steel at a reasonable production rate that have the strength and fracture properties of single-piece casings, with the sections being joined using friction welding techniques.
摘要:
A target discriminating device which is attached to the forward end of a projectile such as a bomblet and which spreads to keep the projectile from sinking too deeply if the projectile strikes a soft target such as soft earth but which is wiped off of the projectile if the projectile strikes a hard target.
摘要:
A breakaway suspension device for the joinder and controlled separation of two objects having a receiver member attached to one of the objects and provided with one or more through bores, a connector member having a bail portion adapted to engage the other of said objects and having a shank portion extending into the through bore in the base member, and a release member interposed between the shank portion of the connector member and the bores in the receiver member and having predetermined severability.
