    Abstract: A launcher includes a pusher that has parts that move relative to one another to provide desired forces or accelerations to corresponding parts of an object to be launched. Pressurized gasses are used to move the pusher to eject the object from the launcher. The parts of the pusher engage the different parts of the object to account for differences in shape and/or orientation of the parts of the objects, and to provide desired accelerations to the object parts. The pusher parts may include a piston or diaphragm that moves relative to an outer annular part of the pusher. The piston or diaphragm may press against a warhead explosive or other payload of a missile, with the outer part pressing against a fuselage or casing of the missile, in which the payload is mounted. Use of the pusher with multiple parts minimizes stresses between the object parts.

    Abstract: A system includes a ballistic weapon having a barrel and a firing system having a controller. The controller is configured to receive a firing command and in response, when operating in a first mode of operation, to trigger repeated firing of the ballistic weapon such that the barrel of the ballistic weapon reseats in between consecutive firings of the ballistic weapon. The controller may also be configured to receive the firing command and in response, when operating in a second mode of operation, to trigger a single firing of the ballistic weapon. The controller may further be configured to receive the firing command and in response, when operating in a third mode of operation, to trigger repeated firing of the ballistic weapon such that the barrel of the ballistic weapon does not reseat in between consecutive firings of the ballistic weapon.

    Abstract: A manifold structure and method of forming a manifold structure includes using an ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) process to build up a solid structure, machining the solid structure to form a cavity and free-standing support pillars within the cavity, and using a UAM process to build up a finstock layer over the cavity. The support pillars formed by machining have yield strengths high enough to support UAM of the finstock layer over the cavity. A plurality of finstock layers are built up within the cavity to segment the cavity into a plurality of cavities. UAM of the finstock layers enables the finstock layers to be stacked in a direction normal to a direction of flow through the cavity for efficiently transferring heat through the manifold structure.
