摘要： A vehicular weapons platform (30) including a plurality of barrel assemblies (10), wherein each barrel assembly includes a barrel (11), a plurality of projectiles (14) axially disposed within the barrel for operative sealing engagement with the bore of the barrel (11) and discrete propellant charges (15) for propelling respective projectiles sequentially through the muzzle of the barrel; and at least one of said plurality of barrel assemblies (10) includes a barrel which also forms a structural member of the weapons platform. In one preferred form, the weapons platform takes the form of a small combat aerial vehicle (SCAV) (30), wherein the barrel assemblies (10) form the airframe. A method of constructing a weapons platform from the barrel assemblies is also described.

摘要： An existing projectile (21) is modified by adding a tail piece (22) to enable axial stacking of multiple projectiles (20) in a common barrel. Propellant for each modified projectile (20) is contained in respective chambers located external to the barrel and connected to the bore of the barrel through associated ports. Tail piece (22) aligns with a respective port and provides a space between consecutive projectiles (20) into which the propellant gas expands after ignition. Separate claims are directed to tail assembly (22), modified projectile (20), the barrel assembly having a plurality of projectiles (20) stacked in end-to-end relation, and to an external initiation system for the barrel assembly (see Figures 4, 7).

摘要： A projectile (10) for firing from a barrel, said projectile including a multiplicity of barrel assemblies (12, 13, 14) radially disposed from the centre of mass of the projectile, wherein each of said multiplicity of barrel assemblies includes a plurality of sub-projectiles (16) axially disposed within a barrel; each of said sub-projectiles associated with a discrete propellent charge (17) for propelling a respective sub-projectile from the barrel, wherein said projectile is capable of selectively firing sub-projectiles (16), suitably with the aid of primers (18) each coupled to an electronic controller (15), to provide a predetermined pattern of deployed sub-projectiles. A defence system employing projectiles of the type described is also disclosed, together with a method for disguising the launch location of a projectile utilising divert propulsion.

摘要： Barrel assembly (10) includes rifled barrel (11) loaded with several pyrotechnic projectiles (12) for selective firing by an electronically controlled system. Each projectile (12) includes body (14), housing (15) containing pyrotechnic material (16), and trailing collar (17) supported on trailing hub (18) of body (14) for limited axial movement. Collar (17) includes leading wall (20) abutting trailing wall (21) of housing (15) and an internally tapered thickened rear part (24) engaging nose (25) of trailing projectile (12) to wedge into sealing engagement with barrel (11). Hub (18) supports propellant capsule (30) connected by electrical leads (31) to contacts (32) on outer cylindrical wall (33) of housing (12). Complementary contacts (34) are supported in barrel (11). Alignment of contacts (34) with contacts (32) occurs during the loading process. Fuse (35) extends between capsule (30) and primer (36) so that material (16) explodes a set time after firing projectile (12) from barrel (11).
