Abstract:
A large caliber, frangible, training projectile imitates, for training purposes, the corresponding tactical projectile. To enable fragmentation of the training projectile at impact, some embodiments of the frangible projectile are partially or entirely made of a material with a lower yield strength than the material used in the counterpart tactical projectile. Some embodiments of the frangible projectile may include portions that are sectioned, welded, or provided with stress risers. Some embodiments of the frangible projectile may include high density particles suspended in a weaker medium. The fragmentation methods may be applied to the overall mass of the projectile, or to a portion of the projectile.
Abstract:
A gun firing method whereby four projectile segments that are contained in a cartridge case are fired simultaneously which creates a predetermined square pattern on a target to increase the hit probability of the dispersion. Two sets of projectile segments that are contained in the cartridge case, are fired by a gun, spin around the central longitudinal axis of each projectile segment, and provide a powerful square salvo of projectile segments. The dispersion produces a substantial increase in the hit probability when compared to a single shot.
Abstract:
An apparatus including a body portion, a plurality of missiles attached to the body portion in a manner which allows the plurality of missiles to detach from the body portion, a net having a plurality of locations, wherein each missile is attached to the net at a different location of the plurality of locations, and means for controlling a flight direction and a flight speed of each of the plurality of missiles. The means for controlling the flight direction and the flight speed of each of the plurality of missiles may include a computer processor attached to each of the plurality of missiles. A majority of the net may lie inside of an inner chamber inside of the body portion, and the at least a majority of the net may be configured to come out of the inner chamber in response to a command from a control device.

Abstract:
The decomposition of a projectile in a target body, particularly a hunting projectile in wild animals after penetration therein, determines the energy output of the projectile and thereby the effect of the shot. For projectiles with double cores, the properties of the ingredients used in the cores decisively affect the decomposition and particularly the deformation behaviour of the cores. According to the invention, a partial decomposition projectile comprising two cores is provided with one solid core (3) made of a material suited to said projectile and the other core (4;22) is divided up into two areas (4a,4b;22a;22b), whereby one area (4a;22a) is made of ball-shaped elements made of a metal material granulate (5;23) and the second area (4b;22b) is made of a metal or ceramic powder and the ball-shaped elements or granulates (5;23) are pressed to become free of shrink holes, in order to improve decomposition behaviour control.
Abstract:
An armor-piercing fragmentation ammunition projectile includes a body made of a dense material, a head also made of a dense material, and an arrangement for fragmenting the body on impact. It is characterized in that the arrangement includes a blind hole delimited by the body and occupied by a mass of compression material subjecting the body to a fragmentation pre-stress. Application to sub-caliber projectiles.
Abstract:
Deterrent ammunition, including a projectile of soft elastic rupturable material, such as natural or synthetic rubber or plastic, having a charge of flowable material, such as finely divided particulate or powder, carried in a cross-sectionally polygonal cavity having relatively thin longitudinal rupture wall zones along the corners of the cavity and thicker longitudinal strengthening zones bounding the cavity straight wall surface sections, with a generally ogive-forming nose section having an easily flexible annular wall connecting with a thicker and more rigid piston-forming nose end of lesser lateral crosssection than the interior cavity cross-section at the rear end of the flexible annular wall for ease of rearward piston movement of the pistonforming nose end on target impact. The projectile is carried in a cartridge by a bore-riding segmented sabot of low density, low mass material and is ejected from the cartridge by ignition of propellant in the cartridge, which effects gas pressure on an obturating pusher disc engaging with the rear of the segmented sabot.
Abstract:
In an intelligent multi-rotor rescue thrower, a throwing projectile head is located at a foremost end of the thrower, a parachute storage bin is mounted at a center of a front end of the throwing projectile head, a rear end of the throwing projectile head is connected to a projectile body shell through threads, and a first splitter plate, a second splitter plate, and a third splitter plate are directly connected to the projectile body shell through slide grooves built in the projectile body shell to equally divide a space in a cavity of the projectile body shell; connecting flanges tightly connect the projectile body shell to motors, a rotor is connected to an upper end of each of the motors, and three rotors are provided in the space in the cavity of the projectile body shell.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a system and method for transportation of goods, service, marketable securities or other valuable payloads optionally utilizing a carrier or smart carrier to contain a payload and using artillery for transporting the payload relatively longer distances, whereby more conventional transportation systems may bring a payload to the artillery mechanism and then retrieve the payload from the artillery mechanism. The system consists of a modified military artillery projectile, optionally containing a self-monitoring smart carrier or a standard carrier, transportation shells for various transportation methods and when smart carriers are employed, goods and services and in some embodiments, people, on land, air and water through a connected ecosystem, may be monitored and safely transported. Modified military artillery is used to propel goods to discrete distance remote stations, alongside, in some examples, torpedoes, sniper rifles, and other long rage apparatuses, such as drones, mortars, and howitzers. The selection of what artillery to use is a function of availability and desired distance and performance, and the interaction with non-ballistic delivery systems, to and from the artillery or ballistic legs of the desired delivery pathway, are ones of optimal design and performance choice of a user of the present invention.
