20080314235 | AMMUNITION, ESPECIALLY PROGRAMMABLE LARGE-CALIBER AMMUNITION - A separating device is integrated in ammunition, with which a line is separated at the earliest possible time during a firing process. The separating device is composed mainly of a piston, which preferably has a sharp edge, is guided in a rigidly mounted cylinder, and, in the unloaded state, is positioned by a shear flange. The cable is preferably securely supported in a protective tube which is connected with a propellant charge primer, and in which the cable is guided as far as the tip of the propellant charge primer and is then further guided to the rear end of the projectile. In the upper area of the cylinder, the cable is guided through a bore, which preferably lies transversely to the direction of acceleration of the piston, so that when the piston moves forward, the cable is separated by the sharp edge of the piston. | 12-25-2008 |

20120011991 | Programming process for the fuse of a projectile and programming device enabling the implementation of such process - The invention relates to a programming process and device for a fuse of a projectile using a programming coil transmitting by induction a programming signal to reception means integral with the fuse. This process is characterized in that the programming signal is transmitted from at least one second programming coil that is separate from the first one, each coil being linked individually to electronic control means and the two coils being arranged so as to be able to lie in proximity to the fuse of the projectile when the latter passes in the feed means of the weapon, the coils being arranged such that the projectile fuse passes successively in front of each coil, particularly adapted to the programming of medium caliber projectiles. | 01-19-2012 |
20120210858 | FUZE INTERNAL OSCILLATOR CALIBRATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS - A system, apparatus, and method for detonating a projectile which includes receiving data by a microprocessor located in the projectile from an external ballistic computer. Calibrating a low frequency oscillator located in the projectile using an internal precision reference oscillator also located in the projectile that can withstand launch accelerations of tens of thousands of g's. Powering off the reference oscillator when calibration is complete to save energy and transmitting a detonation signal from the microprocessor to a detonation circuit located in the projectile. | 08-23-2012 |

20090007766 | CRUISE MUNITIONS DETONATOR PROJECTILE - A projectile, (Cruise Munition Detonator Projectile or CMDP), can be fired from a tank, modified grenade launcher or gun using a laser range finder, radar or manual input (dialer or keypad) range selector. The CMDP will prevent, neutralize and eliminate enemy close infighting. The CMDP can defend aircraft against SAM, shoulder launched missiles, and air-to-air missiles. The CMDP will travel a predetermined programmed distance and detonate in front of or behind, over or beside, or in the mist of a target. The CMDP allows small forces to strategically neutralize larger forces with devastating effect. The CMDP is a force multiplier and an anti-personnel weapon. | 01-08-2009 |

20110041674 | INDUCTIVE POWER TRANSFER - The present invention generally concerns inductive power transfer systems and their components. More particularly, representative and exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally relate to systems, devices and methods for transferring modulated current between a launcher and at least one guided missile. | 02-24-2011 |
20110083547 | METHODS FOR INDUCTIVELY TRANSFERRING DATA AND POWER TO A PLURALITY OF GUIDED PROJECTILES TO PROVIDE A LOCK-ON-BEFORE-LAUNCH CAPABILITY - Embodiments of an inductive power transfer method are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method of transferring data and power to a plurality of guided projectiles located in launcher tubes on a helicopter is described herein. In some embodiments, power and data are inductively transferred across the launcher windings to the projectile windings to configure the control systems of the guided projectiles to provide a lock-on-before-launch capability. | 04-14-2011 |

20120255426 | PROGRAMMING DEVICE FOR THE FUSE OF A PROJECTILE - A programming device for the fuse of a projectile using programming coils transmitting a programming signal by induction to receiver means integral with said fuse, wherein said programming coils are integral with a substantially cylindrical wall of a corridor in which said projectile translates axially, said programming coils being made in the form of several elementary coils each encircling a ferrite core parallel to the axis of said corridor, said coils being distributed along several lines parallel to said corridor axis, said coils of one line being longitudinally staggered with respect to said coils of the neighboring line or lines. | 10-11-2012 |
20140060297 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING ENERGY TO A PROJECTILE - Inductive or capacitive transmission of energy to a projectile is disclosed. A waveguide can be used to transmit the energy, the electric field being concentrated in the waveguide. The thus used energy transfer system includes at least one waveguide which is arranged or integrated in the region of the muzzle, for example between a muzzle brake and a gun barrel. A transmission coupler for transmission is fed by a signal generator. The projectile comprises at least one sensor which captures the signal and a store in the projectile is charged. Assemblies of the system are used for a V | 03-06-2014 |
