Abstract: Movement of a disrupter cannon is arrested by a parachute. The parachute is coupled (e.g., tethered) to the disrupter cannon. Prior to firing the cannon, the parachute is held in a retainer. Movement of the disrupter cannon in response to firing pulls the parachute from the retainer. The parachute deploys and arrests the movement of the disrupter cannon. The retainer protects the parachute prior to firing the disrupter cannon. The retainer may hold the parachute during transport.

Abstract: A modular reconnaissance capsule or reconnaissance pod is provided that is suitable for deployment by means of an artillery launching platform, such as a conventional 40 mm grenade launcher or 155 mm cannon wherein a parachute is deployed at a pre-calculated observation altitude, the parachute being designed to yield a sufficiently slow rate of descent to permit live video capture and transmission of images as forward observation information. Alternatively, pods according to the invention may also be air dropped from an aircraft, either piloted or pilotless, thus allowing the aircraft to operate at a safe distance and yet provide close reconnaissance even under a cloud cover. Accurate information about targeting dynamics is made available to the user through commercially available products. The invention complements other reconnaissance methods and provides easy-to-use real-time visual information for a desired area of interest.

Abstract: A dispenser system provides a means to automatically deploy systems using a controlled dispense approach capable of providing desired operational flexibility. Components such as unattended ground sensors (UGS) are deployed according to a method which includes incorporating the components into an elongated ejection system to form a payload assembly, the ejection system including axially-displaced ejector bays each for holding respective components. Each ejector bay retains the respective components until a respective ejection event upon which the ejector bay ejects the components in a radial direction. The payload assembly includes a stabilizer such as a drogue parachute that substantially prevents the payload assembly from rotating about its elongated axis. A timing sequence for the ejection events is programmed into the ejection system to achieve a desired coverage pattern of the components after deployment. The timing sequence can be chosen to result in a coverage pattern along a continuum from maximum component density to maximum total area coverage. The payload assembly is subsequently released from an aerial vehicle above the area with activation of the timing sequence, such that the ejection events occur during flight of the payload assembly at respective times after its release.

Abstract: This invention relates to a gas generator having two or more compartments, each with a separate initiator, with one compartment discharging before another, i.e., the compartments discharge sequentially. Each compartment has the same propellants, but the propellants have different geometries in each compartment, which results in different rates of gas evolution from each compartment. The gas generator has a rapid initial inflation, followed by a more gradual inflation rate in the subsequent stages, improving safety to occupants. One propellant used for the gas generator comprises (1) ammonium nitrate as the oxidizer, (2) a fuel such as CL-20. and (3) a binder such as polycaprolactone. A second propellant comprises by weight approximately 70-95% energetic nitrate fuel, 5-25% energetic polymer binder and 0.1-5% flash suppressant. No hot metal particles (e.g., CuO) are generated in the new systems.

Abstract: The invention offers a novel way to enhance the time of a surveillance paad over a target area. It provides a relatively inexpensive way to position an unmanned reconnaissance payload over a potential target area, using a cargo projectile launched from a conventional tubed artillery piece, under all weather and environmental conditions. The use of tow line between the ejected reconnaissance payload and the ballistic cargo projectile allow the payload with its parafoil to achieve a greater height, enter an orbit and extend a longer time over the target area.

Abstract: A combustible ignition system for use in an illuminating flare warhead. The ignition system includes a pickup charge positioned contiguous the separation charge of the ignition initiator. The pickup charge is positioned such that the firing of the separation charge triggers combustion of the pickup charge. The pickup charge extends to a combustible train which comprises a continuous thin-layer explosive composition positioned within a plastic tubing. The firing of the pickup charge creates sufficient shock that the combustible train is detonated. The combustible train extends along the flare casing adjacent the parachute system and the illuminant. At the head end of the warhead, the explosive train connects to an output charge. The explosive shock of the explosive train is sufficient to detonate the output charge. The output charge transfers the combustion to a BKNO.sub.3 pellet basket within the illuminant igniter of the warhead. Ignition of the pellet basket ignites a propellant wafer which generates sufficient heat to ignite the illuminating composition of the flare.
