摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a launch system, a launch vehicle for use with the launch system, and methods of launching a payload utilizing the launch vehicle and/or the launch system. The disclosure can provide for delivery of the payload at a terrestrial location, an Earth orbital location, or an extraorbital location. The launch vehicle can comprise a payload, a propellant tank, an electrical heater wherein propellant, such as a light gas (e.g., hydrogen) is electrically heated to significantly high temperatures, an exhaust nozzle from which the heated propellant expands to provide an exhaust velocity of, for example, 7-16 km/sec, and sliding electrical contacts in electrical connection with the electrical heater. The launch vehicle can be utilized with the launch system, which can further comprise a launch tube formed of concentric electrically conductive tubes, as well as an electrical energy source, such as a battery bank and associated inductor.

A missile launching system, comprising a launch rail (34) for attachment to an aircraft and having a longitudinal slot (32, 36), and at least two hangers for attachment to the missile at longitudinally spaced locations thereof and having a cross-section configured to be received in said longitudinal slot in the launch rail (34). The rearmost hanger (10) includes two separable main parts, i.e. a first main part (12) for engagement with a respective lateral, first groove section (32) of the slot, and a second main part (14) configured to be attached to the missile and be slidably guided in a second groove section (36) of the slot normal to the first groove section (32) and opening towards the missile (24), said second main part (14) having laterally extending collars (26) configured to interact in close proximity with respective rail sections (40) facing the missile. The second main part (14) is configured to separate from the first part (12) when launching the missile.

Le dispositif comprend des rails avant 2 et arrière 3 destinés à supporter respectivement des oreilles avant et arrière de la charge. Les rails 2, 3 sont reliés ensemble par des éléments rigides 4, 5 pour former un équipage mobile qui peut se déplacer le long de glissières longitudinales 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b de l'organe porteur 1. Ce dernier présente des butées fixes 10a, 10b et des butées éclipsables 11a, 11b qui coopèrent avec la charge pour empêcher toute translation de celle-ci en position d'emport. Le déplacement de l'équipage mobile dans ses glissières 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b libère la charge d'avec les rails 2, 3 pour assurer le largage de celle-ci. L'invention s'applique particulièrement au largage de missiles, avec accessoirement éjection de ceux-ci.
摘要:
In a method of carrying a munition on a munition launcher platform, the munition launcher platform is provided with a data tag activator and a data tag reader. A munition is attached to the munition launcher platform, the munition being provided with a data tag. An activation signal is transmitted from the data tag activator to the data tag. As a result of receiving the activation signal, the data tag returns a data response to the data tag reader. The receiving of the data response provides the munition launcher platform with an indication that the munition is still attached to the munition launcher platform.
摘要:
A system for evaluating aircraft/watercraft/battle-vehicle survivability equipment comprising: (1) a Static Pyrotechnic Unit (SPTU) and a support stand; (2) a system of Short Range Simulating Rocket (SRSR) and a rocket launching apparatus; and (3) a control system that activates said Static Pyrotechnic Unit in (1) and said system SRSR in (2). When the Static pyrotechnic Unit is ignited, the resulting flash has an IR wavelength and multi spectral emission, intensity and time duration that simulate the initial flash created by a shoulder missile. When the Short Range Simulating Rocket is fired, the resulting radiation has an IR wavelength and multi spectral emission, intensity and time duration that simulates the radiation trail emitted from a fired shoulder missile. The flash created by the Static pyrotechnic Unit, and the trail emission of the Short Range Simulating Rocket are detected by the target survivability detection equipment, enabling the target to take protective measures.
摘要:
The invention relates to a ramp of a catapult and to a catapult. The catapult comprises a carriage (4) for fastening an aircraft (5). The carriage (4) is supported on a ramp (1). The ramp is formed of one or more ramp elements (1a - 1m). The ramp element comprises four frame plates, namely two parallel side plates (20a, 20b), a top plate (21) and a bottom plate (22). The frame plates are separate pieces which are connected at fastening points (25) to each other by means of mechanical fastening elements (26).
