摘要： A non-lethal projectile has an enclosed frangible shell with a nose assembly coupled thereto. The nose assembly is designed to be frangible and absorb shock energy incident on the nose assembly. Frangible containers disposed in the shell occupy a portion of the volume defined thereby such that spaces between the containers are defined. Each container is configured to divide into particles when the container fractures. Each container contains at least one payload material. A gelatinous carbomer fills the spaces between the containers.

摘要： A fuel depot and method autonomously and clandestinely provide fuel for transiting ships. An elongate streamlined flexible bladder member has flexible hull walls and divider walls separated by uniform spaces to form fuel compartments having a fuel valve and fuel pump. The bladder member can transit submerged to a remote destination. A fuel and water tight composition in and along the spaces prevent fuel and water leaks to ambient water and between the compartments. A submersible propulsion system has propulsive machinery and steering gear for towing the bladder member. A command/control system on the submersible propulsion system generated and couples driving signals to the propulsion system to tow and steer the bladder member to the remote destination using the preprogrammed computer, inertial navigation system (INS), global positioning system (GPS), and RF transceiver of the command/control system.

摘要： An air-delivered submersible vehicle system has a monocoque-construction shell made from a fiber-reinforced plastic material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastics and thermoset plastics. The shell is equipped with a wing kit so that it can be deployed from an aircraft and fly through the air to a destination at a surface of a body of water. The shell is further equipped as a submersible vehicle so that it can be propelled through the water once it has reached its water destination.

摘要： An integrated water sensing actuator is based on a fibrous cellulosic material having anisotropic moisture-absorbing properties such that it's dried-in strain is greatest along one axis thereof. A plug of the dry and compressed fibrous cellulosic material has a powder material coated thereon and mixed therewith. The plug is compressed along it's axis of greatest dried-in strain and is fitted in a water-permeable housing adjacent a piston. The powder material is inert with respect to the cellulosic material and initiates a chemical reaction when exposed to water such that a product of the chemical reaction is water. Immersion of the housing in water causes expansion of the plug and corresponding movement of the piston.

摘要： A towing rocket motor assembly has a tubular solid propellant grain defined by exterior surface area and interior surface area. The exterior surface area is inhibited from ignition within a tubular region of a housing. The housing includes a first end and a second end at either end of the tubular region. The first end defines a plenum having an annular region defined by a diameter larger than that of the tubular region. A plurality of holes formed in the first end communicate with the annular region and are directed substantially in the direction of the second end of the housing. A burn-inhibiting baffle is fitted in the propellant grain wherein an annular spacing is defined between the baffle and the interior surface area of the propellant grain. An ignition assembly, mounted at the second end of the housing, is coupled to the interior surface area of the propellant grain so that the propellant grain burns from the inside out upon ignition. Burn gases are exhausted through the holes in the annular region of the first end of the housing.

摘要： An underwater high energy acoustic communications device has inner shell-like structure having an outer surface connected to first ends of tuning springs and outer shell-like structure having an inner surface connected to second ends of the tuning springs to concentrically locate and space the inner and outer structures apart. Explosive units mounted on the inner surface of the outer structure each includes an explosive squib, rigid tube, and projectile. A micro-controller feeds firing signals over electrical leads to the explosive units to detonate them and fire their projectiles to strike the inner structure that emits ringing high-energy broadband acoustic signals that are propagated into surrounding seawater. A transducer connected to the micro controller receives acoustic signals from a remote source to activate the micro-controller to generates preprogrammed sequences of firing signals to propagate coded messages by the high-energy broadband, acoustic signals.

摘要： A line charge for deploying explosive charges across obstacles and mines to clear a safe lane has explosive charges spaced apart on a common detonating cord, and axial passageways in the explosive charges are sized to permit free longitudinal travel of the detonating cord through them. A composite strength member includes an inner fabric sleeve of high strength flexible material covered by an outer sleeve of thermoset/thermoplastic material and contains the explosive charges and detonating cord. Heat-curing the inner fabric sleeve and outer sleeve shrinks and conforms them to the outer contours of the explosive charges and combines the high strength flexible material and thermoset/thermoplastic material. Composite strength member absorbs energy during deployment of the line charge over its entire length and circumference and absorbs more energy prior to structural failure to allow the use of more powerful rocket motors to fly longer line charges from much greater and safer standoff distances. Composite strength member does not transfer self-destructive strains to the detonating cord during deployment; the detonating cord is free to longitudinally slide through the explosive charges; and composite strength member maintains proper spacing of explosive charges so that explosive effectiveness of the line charge is maximized. The cost effective and uncomplicated assembly procedure for the line charge creates a more reliable line charge having improved performance capabilities as compared to contemporary manufacturing schemes.

摘要： A method of simulating the effects of one or more explosive events utilizes a mapping of graphically-valued dots to describe the explosive event at detonation at a plurality of (x,y) positions. A degradation rule is applied to the mapping of dots at each of times tn, for n=1 to N, to yield corresponding mappings of degraded value dots. The degradation rule specifies how the mapping of dots at detonation changes with time. The mapping at detonation and mappings of the degraded value dots are then simultaneously displayed in (x,y) registration with one another.

摘要： A rocket propelled textile and cordage net fire extinguishing system is deployed from a platform at a safe standoff distance from a fire. The rocket propelled matrix-like net flies over, lands on, and drapes over the burning site. A detonating means, or detonating network on the net is actuated to rupture spaced-apart canisters on the net that are filled with halon and/or other fire extinguishing compounds. The detonating network quickly disperses the fire extinguishing compounds to engulf and extinguish the fire safely and efficiently without unduly exposing fire fighters to danger. The net fire extinguisher system can extinguish fires aboard a maritime vessel, particularly when the burning craft cannot be safely boarded or burns so fiercely that it cannot be approached closely. The net fire extinguisher system can combat highly dangerous fires including chemical and oil fires, (oil rig fires) on land and at sea.
