    摘要: An improved fin retention and release mechanism (15) comprising an elongated body (16), at least one fin (18a) mounted to the body and capable of moving from a stowed position (30) to a deployed position (32), an actuator (20a) connected to the fin and arranged to rotate the fin about a first axis (33), a fin retention member (19a) connected to the body and configured and arranged to rotate about a second axis (34) from a locked position (36) to a release position (38), the fin and the fin retention member configured and arranged such that the fin is held in the stowed position by the fin retention member when being in the locked position and the fin is not held in the stowed position by the fin retention member when being in the release position, and wherein actuation of the fin about the first axis by the actuator rotates the fin about the first axis in a first direction (39) and correspondingly rotates the fin retention member about the second axis in a second direction (40) opposite to the first direction and from the locked position to the release position.

    摘要: A system and process for the aerodynamic stabilization of rocket-assisted artillery projectiles launched from smooth-bore cannons comprises multiple stabilization fins stowed circumferentially and held by a cap until muzzle exit. At muzzle exit, the cap separates and allows the fins to self-deploy using the energy stored within the fin material, which is either shape memory alloy or spring steel. The fins are then locked into place and serve to stabilize the projectile without interfering with the discharge of hot propelling gasses from the rocket nozzle.

    摘要: Described herein is a towed body (10) having a deployment mechanism (18, 20, 22, 28) for deploying a drag cone carried thereby. The towed body (10) comprises a body portion (12), a nose portion (14) and a tail portion (16). The deployment mechanism comprises a slider (20) mounted on the body portion (12) to which are pivotally mounted a plurality of forward opening blades (24). The slider (20) has a clip (22) mounted within it for locking the blades (24) in the fully deployed position. The slider (20) abuts a hub (18) for providing a surface on which the fluid acts as the towed body (10) is being towed therethrough. From a stowed position, fluid acting on the hub (18) forces the slider (20) and the blades (24) to move towards the tail portion (16). The blades (24) move up and over a bumper (28) located adjacent the tail portion (16) to deploy from the stowed position. When the blades (24) are fully deployed, the clip (22) engages with the body portion (12) to lock the blades (24) in position. In this position, the blades (24) substantially define a drag cone. Once the fully deployed position has been reached, the hub (18) is jettisoned to remove any unwanted turbulence.

    摘要: An expandable telescoped airframe for a missile provides a shorter configuration for convenience in handling and a longer configuration to provide added predetermined clearance in front of a shaped charge warhead after launch. The airframe is mechanically locked into its extended configuration upon deployment of its expansion feature by means of a wedge brake collar. Possible deployment means include gas pressure, one or more springs, and a drogue parachute. Tail and other control surfaces spring open after clearing the airframe tube to provide aerodynamic stability.

    摘要: A method of actuating a control surface in a munition. The method including: coupling a pair of fins to an actuation device; generating pressurized gas to selectively actuate the actuation device; and converting the actuation of the actuation device to rotation of the pair of fins. The converting can convert a linear output of the actuation device to the rotation of the pair of fins or a rotary output of the actuation device to the rotation of the pair of fins. The generated gas can be directly provided to the actuation device or the generated gas can be stored in a storage device before being provided to the actuation device. The method can further include repeating the coupling, generating and converting for a second pair of fins.
