20110290140System and Method for Powered Bomb Guidance - According to one embodiment, a system of powered bomb guidance includes a munition and a guidance system operable to detect a relative position of a target. The guidance system determines course corrections to direct the munition to the target and generates a control signal reflective of the course corrections. One or more explosive guidance units are disposed at one or more control surfaces disposed along an outer surface of the munition. Each explosive guidance unit is mechanically coupled to one of a plurality of control surfaces and in electrical communication with the guidance system. Each explosive guidance unit is configured to detonate in response to receiving the control signal from the guidance system and is further configured to apply force upon detonation to the control surface to which it is coupled.12-01-2011
20110168048Multi-Faceted Structure for Bombs and Warheads Including Penetrating Warheads - A bomb and penetrating warhead (“PW”) casings is disclosed that has three or more exterior facets. The facets may be straight or spiraling. The resulting bomb or PW casing that results is a stronger, tougher structure that will increase the overall performance of the bomb or PW casing in delivering the desired destructive power to a selected target. The bomb and PW casings also have the advantage of being lighter in weight than a conventional bomb structure but yet provide the desired destructive power to the selected target.07-14-2011
20110146521REDUCED COLLATERAL DAMAGE BOMB (RCDB) AND SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A reduced collateral damage bomb (RCDB) bomb casing is described and disclosed along with the system and method for making it. The RCDB bomb casing may be formed from conventional or penetrating warhead bomb casings. The RCDB bomb casing has a filler material/materials disposed on the interior walls that will assist in controlling the collateral damage caused by the finished bomb but not prevent the appropriate destructive power being delivered to a selected target.06-23-2011
102334000 SMOKE GENERATING 4
20100212529Drag minimizing projectile delivery system - A modified cartridge assembly including a projectile having a gas generator proximate its aft end. The projectile includes an aft closure having a cavity filled with gas generating material. The gas generating material is ignited around the time the projectile exits the weapon's muzzle. The gas generating material then burns while the projectile is in flight, spewing pressurized gas into the wake region immediately behind the projectile. The pressurized gas reduces the projectile's base drag.08-26-2010
20100294157Self Contained Non Toxic Obscurant Grenade And Self-Contained Aerosol Dispersing Grenade - A self-contained grenade capable of dispersing a non-toxic obscurant composition, or various types of aerosol compositions such as pesticides or antimicrobial/sanitizing agents, is provided. The obscurant or other type of aerosol composition via an exothermic reaction. Release of the obscurant or other type of aerosol composition is effected in a controlled manner by creating heat via a heat producing composition comprising, for example, a thermite composition. The obscurant or other type of aerosol composition is absorbed into a heat transfer media disposed adjacent the heat producing composition. When the exothermic reaction occurs, the heat transfer media transfers the heat to the absorbed material, thereby providing a regulated thermal dispersion of same.11-25-2010
20090301336Camouflage and decoy munitions for protecting objects against guided missiles - The invention relates to camouflage and decoy munitions for protecting objects against guided missiles comprising mist and/or target-imitation forming active materials and additional pyrotechnical lighting bodies producing a plurality of hot spots dispersed in the space. The hot-spot producing active material can be embodied in such a way that it is provided with pulsed fire.12-10-2009

102401000 MINES 3
20100139517MINE COUNTER MEASURE SYSTEM - A method of destroying mines in a minefield buried under the surface includes deploying a munition including a plurality of kinetic energy rods each having a stabilizer into a position above the minefield and deploying the rods above the minefield to fall towards the minefield each aligned along a velocity vector to penetrate the surface and destroy the mines.06-10-2010
20080314279Protection Device for Military or Civilian Vehicles Against Magnetic Detection Mines - A protection device for land vehicles against mines, wherein it incorporates a metallic plate positioned under the vehicle so as to normalize the magnetic field generated by the vehicle and/or by its elements and at least one loop positioned under the metallic plate and made of an electrically conductive material connected to an electrical supply so as to generate a magnetic field of a value substantially equal to the opposing sign of the magnetic field from the vehicle so as to render said vehicle undetectable by magnetic detection mines.12-25-2008
20100307365SIMULATED LAND MINE - A simulated land mine for use in a combat simulation or a simulated war game, comprising: a base frame with an opening facing upwards; an inner housing inserted into the base frame and including a first center hole formed vertically therethrough; a gas cylinder mounted in the first center hole and including a second center hole formed vertically therethrough, a gas chamber formed around the second center hole and a discharge aperture communicating the formers and being used for containing compressed gas; a valve mounted in the second center hole for sealing the discharge aperture; a receiving chamber formed at an upper part of the first center hole by the inner housing, the gas cylinder and the valve and being used to contain colored liquid or powder to be ejected; means for supporting the inner housing which enables the movement of the inner housing in relation to the base frame; and a means for actuating the valve to selectively open the discharge aperture to release the compressed gas from the gas chamber into the receiving chamber.12-09-2010
