    摘要: Missile (10) includes one or more of barrel assemblies (11) which are displaced from the centre of gravity of missile (10). Each barrel assembly (11) includes a plurality of projectiles axially disposed within the barrel, and each projectiles is associated with a discrete propellant charge for propelling the projectile sequentially from the barrel. Each array of barrel assemblies (11) is capable of selectively firing the projectiles from selected barrels whereby missile (10) is accelerated by the reactionary force generated by said firing of projectiles and the missile is deflected onto a new course or trajectory. This enables missile (10) to be steered to intercept its target even if the target is undertaking evasive manoeuvre. Each barrel assembly (11) can include up to twelve projectiles.

    摘要: A fire fighting apparatus (20) for fighting a fire (10) having a relatively large area or volume (11, 12), said apparatus including a targeting system (23) for identifying a target area to be doused with fire retardant and an ordnance (21) for discharging a multiplicity of projectiles (22) having the fire retardant contained therein (32). The ordnance of the apparatus includes at least one barrel assembly (30), said at least one barrel assembly having a barrel (39), a plurality of projectiles (35) axially disposed within the barrel for operative sealing engagement with the bore of the barrel (39), and discrete propellant charges (36) for propelling respective projectiles sequentially through the muzzle of the barrel, whereby said fire retardant is dispersed over the target area or within the target volume.

    摘要: A method of minimising misfiring or alleviating their consequences is provided by forming at least each trailing projectile (30) in a series of housed projectiles with a sealing portion (34) extending about a tapered anvil portion (31) and moveable therealong for expansion into sealing engagement with the barrel (11). The sealing portion (34) disengages forwardly in response to a misfire or the like to provide a bleed path for igniting the propellant charge (41) associated with the next leading projectile (30).

    摘要: Anti-missile missile (10) includes a missile configured to track and intercept an incoming missile travelling along path (12). Missile (10) includes at least one barrel assembly (13) having a multiplicity of projectiles stacked axially within barrel assembly (13), together with discrete selectively ignitable propellant charges for propelling the multiplicity of projectiles sequentially through the muzzle of barrel assembly (13). The multiplicity of projectiles produce a fragment column (20) along path (12) to destroy the incoming missile. Alternatively, anti-missile missile (10) can be guided to produce a direct hit at point (18) on the incoming missile. Barrel assembly (13) can include an aiming mechanism so that barrel assembly (13) can be rotated through sector (15, 16) to target path (12).

    摘要: Small arm (10) includes a trigger, barrel assembly (11) and electronic firing controls mounted in handgrip (12). Barrel assembly (11) includes a plurality of axially disposed projectiles and discrete propellant charges for propelling respective projectiles, SMall arm (10) includes laaser beam (15) which terminates at target 816) to provide an instant reading of the target distance for adjusting the rate of fire to achieve a desired impact spread. The impact spread results from the recoiling action of small arm (10) inducing barrel climb. A single firing event activates the trigger and small arm (10) fires a predetermined number of projectiles at a rate selected to provide a desired impact spread on target (16). Where target (16) is a person, typically two or three projectiles are fired, and the rate of fire is between 10,000 and 60,000 rounds per minute, depending on the target distance.
