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
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
20120204749HIGH ANGLE OF ATTACK MULTI SPECTRAL MARKING PROJECTILE/BOMB - A high angle-of-attack projectile or bomb comprises separate compartments that, after launch allow for (a) mixing of the chemi-luminescent materials, (b) heating of the materials in the projectile vessel, (c) pressurization of the projectile vessel, and (d) efficient expulsion of a day marker and heated chemi-luminescent mix upon striking the target. The projectile/bomb allows for the marking of targets. The projectile/bomb does not create unexploded ordnance (UXO) and minimizes use of energetic materials such as reactive chemicals and/or pyrotechnics.08-16-2012
20130047879SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING AGAINST TERRORIST AND ILLEGAL INVASION - The system includes one or more devices to deter pig-blood sensitive terrorists' and others from passing across borders and across perimeters. It also deters similar terrorist suicide bombers. Sources of deterrence include pig blood derivatives in paint, spray, and detonation distribution form. In addition there are sources of deterrence from ampoules containing pig blood derivatives positioned in public buildings and on public transportation vehicles accompanied by appropriate signage.02-28-2013

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
20120291651FLYING BOMB - A flying bomb includes a standardized bomb casing formed of steel and having a nose opening and a tail opening. A thin penetrator is disposed in the bomb casing in order to achieve high effectiveness with little collateral damage when the flying bomb strikes a target. A distance between the tip of the penetrator and the nose opening is greater than 100 mm.11-22-2012

20100011982SUBMUNITION AND METHOD OF DESTROYING A TARGET IN A TARGET AREA BY THE SUBMUNITION - A submunition is formulated for destroying a target in a target area. Accommodated in a casing are a signal processing unit connected to a radar antenna and/or an infrared sensor and/or another target-detecting sensor. The submunition further has target recognition software and a charge provided with a covering. To increase the versatility of use and to simultaneously improve detection and decision certainty and reliability, the target recognition software has a software interface for the transfer of at least one parameter specific to the target area.01-21-2010

20090260534UNDERWATER GRENADE - An underwater grenade and a method for using an underwater grenade. A depth activated, hand emplaced ordnance utilizing safe and arm technology to address underwater threats (such as enemy swimmers) while providing a safe interface with personnel. The grenade is armed after a sequence of events have occurred including reaching a desired depth and a desired passage of time. Failure of any of the events to occur will cause the grenade to be rendered safe.10-22-2009
20140338555Explosive Device and Mini Depth Charge Grenade - An explosive device contains a water-reactive material that ignites upon exposure to water. The water-reactive material ignites a water-activated fuse that has a predetermined burn rate and length. The predetermined burn rate and length allows the device to sink to a desired depth before exploding. Hence, the device explodes after a desired period of time and/or at a desired depth. Defense against underwater swimmers is an advantageous feature of embodiments of the disclosure. The device can use a forty millimeter (40 mm) form factor, which permits launch of the device from convention grenade launchers.11-20-2014
102396000 Igniting means 4
20120227612Shaped Charge Fuse Booster System for Dial Lethality in Reduce Collateral Damage Bombs (RCDB) That Include Penetrating Warheads or Warheads with High Explosives that are Difficult to Ignite - A fuse booster system for a reduced collateral damage bomb or penetrating warhead is described and disclosed. The fuse booster system uses shaped charges that will ignite the main high explosive charge of the bomb or penetrating warhead, and also remove portions of the bomb or penetrating warhead to reduce the power of the bomb at the target in a measurable manner to control the lethality and collateral damage of the bomb or penetrating warhead.09-13-2012
20120234197REDUCED COLLATERAL DAMAGE BOMB (RCDB) INCLUDING FUSE SYSTEM WITH SHAPED CHARGES AND A 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. Further, the fusing system may include a shaped charge to control the ignition of the main explosive charge to control the amount of collateral damage when the bomb casing is filled with high explosives.09-20-2012
20140331882MUNITION, CHARGE FOR SUCH A MUNITION, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH A MUNITION - The invention provides a filler material for a munition, including an explosive charge, an inert charge and at least one pyrotechnic transmission unit adapted to transmit a remotely initiated detonation to said explosive charge. The invention also concerns a munition incorporating said filler material, said munition including a hollow elongate casing suitable for housing the explosive charge and the inert charge, and a firing device, at least a portion of the inert charge being interposed between the firing device and said explosive charge, and the pyrotechnic transmission unit being provided with a pyrotechnic extension and coupling the firing device to the explosive charge in order to prime detonation of the explosive charge under the action of the firing device.11-13-2014
