Abstract: A thin film-retaining washer with custom geometry that may further provide for a simple press-on installation while maintaining retention of fasteners during assembly, shipping, handling, and/or use of associated systems. The present retaining hardware is easily manufactured from sheet or film materials with minimal post-processing and may be scaled and optimized for use with multiple size and style of fasteners. Further, the thickness profile of the thin film retaining hardware facilitates lobe spring deflection to further provide secure retention of the associated fasteners.

Abstract: Various countermeasure expendables and methods of using said countermeasure expendables are provided herein. The countermeasure expendable includes a container. The countermeasure expendable also includes a plurality of countermeasure payloads operably engaged inside the container, wherein one countermeasure payload of the plurality of countermeasure payloads is operably connected to a first Zener diode, and wherein another countermeasure packet of the plurality of countermeasure packets is operably connected to a second Zener diode. In addition, the first Zener diode has a first Zener voltage threshold and the second Zener diode has a second Zener voltage threshold greater than the first Zener voltage threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a chaff dispensing system that is provided on an aircraft. The chaff dispensing system includes a container, a dispensing assembly, a controller, and a volume of chaff material. The container has a first end, a second end, and a chamber that extends between the first and second ends, and the second end defines an ejection port. The dispensing assembly is provided on the aircraft, and the dispensing assembly is operably engaged to the container. The controller is electrically connected to the dispensing assembly. The volume of chaff material is disposed inside the chamber of the container. The volume of chaff material is dispensed by the dispensing assembly operably through the controller in metered volumes of chaff material. In addition, a first volume of chaff material may be metered at a first time and a second volume chaff material may be metered at a second time in which the second volume of chaff material is different than the first volume of chaff material.

Abstract: A countermeasure dispenser system has a dispenser with a fire pin and a smart expendable housed in the dispenser awaiting to be fired upon a fire command. The smart expendable has features that need power and communication signals from the dispenser. The communication signals and power sent from the dispenser to the smart expendable are sent through an interface that is different than the fire pin in the dispenser. The interface may be a dedicated wired interface or the interface may be a wireless interface. If wireless, the wireless interface may use near field communications, RF signaling, or near field magnetic induction.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for leveraging legacy countermeasure dispensing systems (CMDSs). The legacy CMDSs are leveraged through the expansion of breechplates and magazines in a CMDS by expanding the amount of expendables carried by a CMDS while still maintaining the legacy sequencer and dispenser in a legacy military platform, such as an aircraft. In addition, various circuitry systems are included in a circuit card of the breechplate for duplicating and/or expanding the firing lines provided in a legacy CMDS.

Abstract: A lightweight thermally dissipative EMI shield for electronics is composed of both metallic (e.g., conductive) and non-metallic (e.g., nonconductive) materials. The thermally dissipative EMI shield or cover may be formed of multiple layers of metallic or conductive materials and at least one layer of non-metallic or nonconductive material. There may be a conductive base layer, a lower intermediate nonconductive layer, an upper intermediate conductive layer, and an outer nonconductive layer. The conductive layers operate to thermally dissipate heat and suppress EMI, whereas the nonconductive layers provide lightweight rigidity and stiffness to support the EMI shield and protect components from foreign object ingress or damage of a circuit card or cover is coupled.

Abstract: An apparatus for dampening at least one optical instrument on a military platform. The apparatus includes a plate adapted to hold at least one optical instrument. The apparatus also includes at least one dampening assembly having a first end operably engaged with the plate and an opposing second end operably engaged with a platform. The at least one dampening assembly is also adapted to reduce the movement of the plate and optical device from a ballistic event created by a ballistic device on the platform.
