    摘要: The aims of the invention are:



    maximizing the explosion energy release of implosive munitions;
    minimizing the vulnerability of munitions to external impacts, detonation and heat during storage;
    radar-invisibility of munitions.




    The invention provides for introducing charges that compress the main charge into the implosive device when equipping it before use.
    Storing implosive munitions without compressive charges minimizes their vulnerability. The start of the device implosion process before the required moment of explosion ahead for the duration of the implosion processes maximizes the device explosion energy release. The invention makes it possible to use effectively cheap explosive mixtures, which have low sensitivities to detonation and heat, and release twice as much energy as hexogen, and also use munitions with thinner and less massive, radar-invisible walls.

    摘要: An isolation assembly for use with a munition includes a housing extending along a central axis and defining a cavity. A shuttle is at least partially within the cavity with an air gap between the shuttle and the housing, where the shuttle is configured to contain one or more electronic components. An isolation assembly in the gap between the shuttle and the housing includes an elastomeric isolator and one or more seals. The isolation assembly retains the shuttle in the cavity with six degrees of freedom.

    摘要: Hardened target sensors and systems are described herein. An example system includes a projectile defining an ogive, a body, and a base. The body of the projectile is arranged between the ogive and the base. The system includes a sensor assembly including a nose member and a plurality of strain gauges. The nose member defines a nose portion, a shaft, portion, and a threaded portion. The strain gauges are attached to the shaft portion. The system includes a shroud member, which is mechanically coupled with the sensor assembly and the body. The system further includes a smart fuze arranged within the body. The smart fuze is operably coupled to the strain gauges. The strain gauges measure the compression/tension of the shaft portion, which is part of the nose member. The load measured by the strain gauges can be used to detect hardened target layers and/or voids.

    摘要: An insensitive munitions (IM) primer for use with major caliber gun systems, including an elongate housing, a tube, an ignition assembly, and a booster assembly. The elongate housing has a proximal end and a distal end. The tube has a first end coupled within the distal end of the elongate housing. The ignition assembly is located within the proximal end of the housing. The booster assembly is located within the elongate housing adjacent the ignition assembly and including a booster holder providing a cylindrical structure defining an internal bore in which a first burst disk resides and is mechanically restrained by a booster disk lock.
