    Abstract: A propulsionless munition configured to be launched from a hypersonic aerial includes a munition body that is free of any propulsion system for producing thrust. The munition body includes a forward section including a radome assembly and an aft section including a control system. The radome assembly includes a nose radome and a frangible radome cover disposed over the nose radome for shielding the nose radome from high temperatures resulting from aerodynamic heating at hypersonic speeds. The frangible radome cover is detachable from the nose radome upon detection by the control system of a predetermined threshold comprising at least one of a predetermined speed, a predetermined altitude, and a predetermined temperature.

    Abstract: The present invention is an Electric servo system which controls and automates gate openings based on GPS speed and position data that results in precise and reliable modern variable and constant rate application. The Electric servo system also allows for Mechanical gate linkages to remain intact, resulting in few changes to the aircraft and redundancy of emergency components. A Mechanical input connect/disconnect is used to effortlessly transfer between the automated Electric servo system and the Mechanical gate system.

    Abstract: A container suspension and release system provides at least one ejector assembly having a carry position and a deployed position. The ejector assembly includes an actuator configured to extend ejector assembly from the carry position to the deployed position, and a retention assembly. The retention assembly employs a bracket attached to the actuator and a fixed sway brace extending from the bracket. A left retention arm is pivotally attached to the bracket and a right retention arm is pivotally attached to the bracket, with the left and right retention arms configured to rotate in opposite directions. A rotation activation mechanism is provided to rotate the left and right retention arms in the deployed position. An energy source connected to the actuator to provides energy to actuate the at least one ejector assembly.

    Abstract: A restrain and release mechanism for an externally airborne load, includes at least one stiff support for suspending the load and an elastically deformable adaptive member designed to maintain the load at pressure contact against the support. The adaptive member is a three-dimensional monolithic metallic body obtained using an additive manufacturing method and having a flexural orthotropic behaviour.
