    摘要: A landmine-neutralization system has a vehicle including a water supply tank and an electrical power supply and an electro-discharge apparatus. The electro-discharge apparatus includes one or more electro-discharge nozzles each having a discharge chamber that has an inlet for receiving water from the water supply tank and an outlet, a first electrode extending into the discharge chamber and being electrically connected to one or more high-voltage capacitors that are connected to, and chargeable by, the electrical power supply, a second electrode proximate to the first electrode to define a gap between the first and second electrodes and a switch to cause the one or more capacitors to discharge across the gap between the electrodes to create a plasma bubble which expands to form a shockwave that escapes through one or more exit orifices of the one or more nozzles ahead of the plasma bubble to thereby neutralize a landmine.

    摘要: A charge deployment system for ordnance neutralisation. The system is suited to deploying multiple disposal charges to neutralise multiple items of ordnance, in particular mines, in a single sortie. The system comprises: at least one deployment unit (102, 104, 106), the or each unit comprising: a housing (110) for stowing a charge in a stowed position; means for mounting a charge within the deployment unit; means for controllably moving a charge and mounting means from the stowed position to a deployment position; and means for controllably releasing a charge from the mounting means; and, a controller for controlling the or each moving means. It further relates to an unmanned vehicle, such as an unmanned underwater vehicle, comprising such a charge deployment system for ordnance neutralisation.

    摘要: A self-propelled explosive system is configured to fit within a barrel mounted on a tank. The system includes: a carrier body defining an interior volume; an explosive within the interior volume; a wheel extending from the carrier body to propel the system to a position within the barrel; a foot extensible from the carrier body, preferably so as to hydraulically lock the system in place within the barrel; a proximity fuse at the front end and the rear end of the carrier body to set off the explosive if tampering is detected; a motor operably connected to the wheel to rotate the wheel and propel the carrier body to a desired position within the barrel and to extend the foot from the carrier body to press against the inner wall of the barrel and lock the carrier body in place.

    摘要: A small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) is used for remotely detecting concealed explosive devices—such as buried or otherwise hidden improvised explosive devices (IED)—and exploding or disarming the device while an operator of the sUAS, or other personnel, remain at a safe distance. The sUAS system can be operated at an extended, e.g., greater than 100 meters, standoff from the detection apparatus, explosive, and potential harm and may be operated by a single member of an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team. The sUAS may be implemented as an easy-to-operate, small vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft with a set of optical, thermal, and chemical detection modules for detecting an IED by aerial surveillance, confirming the existence of explosives, and providing options for detonating the IED electrically or by delivery of a payload (e.g., object or device) to neutralize the IED while maintaining the sUAS itself safe from harm.

    摘要: Recoil mitigating devices and methods for use with projectile firing systems such as a disrupter mounted to a robotic arm. A pair of parallel spring provides dampening of axial recoil movement of the disrupter relative to the robotic arm. Forward ends of the springs are attachable to the barrel of the disrupter while rearward portions of the springs are attachable to the robotic arm by a robot mount block. The robot mount block at least partially encloses the barrel of the disrupter in connecting the parallel springs and permits axial movement of the disrupter along or through the mount during firing.
