摘要:
A multi-stage hyper-velocity kinetic energy missile (HVKEM) uses a 'missile in a missile' architecture in which the HVKEM includes a 1st stage flight missile and a 2nd stage kill missile that includes a KE-rod penetrator. The flight missile cruises at a relatively low velocity (less than Mach 1.5, typically less than Mach 1) to conserve propellant (weight) and to allow for effective guidance and maneuvering until the missile is in close proximity to the target. When the missile is within the lethal range of the KE- rod penetrator, the kill missile separates and boosts to a much higher velocity (greater than Mach 3, typically greater than Mach 5) and flies unguided to impact the target in less than a second. Waiting to boost the KE-rod until "the last second" reduces the total propellant (weight) needed to deliver the KE-rod on target and simplifies the guidance. The missile may be configured for use with different platforms and different guidance systems but is particularly well suited for use with the existing base of TOW launch containers and platforms satisfying all of the physical, operational and CLOS guidance constraints while maintaining the performance of the KE-rod penetrator.

Un organe de liaison filiforme tel qu'une fibre optique, reliant une munition filoguidée (16) à un tube de lancement (14) embarqué sur un lanceur mobile, est reçu sur une première bobine (20) portée par la munition et sur une deuxième bobine (22) montée dans le tube de lancement (14), entre la munition (16) et une porte avant (24) du tube. L'organe de liaison comme la munition sont totalement protégés par le tube de lancement lors du stockage et du transport. Juste avant la mise à feu de la munition (16), la deuxième bobine (22) bascule à l'extérieur du tube de lancement (14) pour permettre le passage de la munition. L'organe de liaison se déroule alors vers l'arrière du lanceur, ce qui permet à ce dernier de s'éloigner de la cible.

An object (2) suitable for moving through a fluid is provided with a filament canister from which the filament (3) unwinds during movement, one end of the said filament being connected to a launching location (1), and the said filament has, at each location along its length, a tensile strength determined by combining the maximal value of the sum of the drag tensional load and of the standard tensional load acting on the filament at the said location.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Lenkkabel (4, 40, 40') für fernlenkbare Flugkörper (1) zu entwickeln, welches nach dem Verschießen des Flugkörpers (1) auf einfache Weise aufgefunden und entsorgt werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Oberflächenschicht (44, 46) des Lenkkabels (4) ein Material enthält, welches bei Beleuchtung mit Licht eines vorgegebenen Wellenlängenbereiches fluoresziert. Vorzugsweise wird ein Farbstoff verwendet, dessen Emissionsspektrum etwa zwischen 530 und 690 nm liegt.
摘要:
A fiber dispenser 10 which provides a bobbin 12 with an expansion ring 30 mounted on an end thereof. The expansion ring 30 is coaxial with the bobbin 12 and permits the use of a nontapered bobbin for high speed dispensation applications. In a specific embodiment, the invention includes a mechanism for adjusting the diameter of the expansion ring as the fiber is dispensed. A further, more specific embodiment includes a mechanism 42, 44 for adjusting the longitudinal position of the expansion ring 30 as the fiber 21 is wound thereon.

A digital electronics unit (81), missile, and missile system for a tube-launched missile. The invention utilizes a positional status mechanism (10) to structure signals from the on-board gyro system (80) and a directional mechanism (11) to separate signals from an operator. These signals are handled by a digital micro-controller (12) to create the proper control signals for manipulation of the missile in the missile system.
摘要:
Apparatus for optical fiber data link between tow moving bodies remote controlled vehicle/missile such as ("RCV") (12) and hereinafter launch platform (17) includes fiber-wound bobbins having opposite winding directions on each body, interconnected with unwound, reinforced fiber sections, for streaming deployment from each bobbin through tensioning devices during relative separation movement between the two bodies. Image sensors and flight control mechanisms are operatively connected through an electric/optical I/O device to the fiber on the bobbin in the RCV (12), and data analysis/display devices and controller/command units are similarly interfaced with the fiber on the bobbin associated with the helicopter (17). The bobbin housing on the helicopter uses a shaped cavity and gimbal mount to provide free-streaming fiber deployment and pyrotechin or electro-mechanical separation device to discharge the bobbin and attached fiber after mission completion.
