A hanger assembly for suspending an external store from an aircraft includes left and right side panels in hinged connection to a center panel, where the panels, in combination, form a band for substantially circumferentially surrounding the external store. The center panel includes an interface for engagement with an attachment pod on an aircraft, and the side panels are fastened in tension to each other diametrically opposite the interface. The length, thickness and material strength of the band are selected to minimize the bending moment, which is induced in the hanger assembly based on loading experienced during operational use, at a region of the band at which an interface is established with the aircraft. |

A rocket ignition system (32) adapted for use with a missile (30) having a rocket motor (24). The system (32) includes detectors (34, 36) and circuitry (22, 34, 36, 38, 40) for detecting an optical impulse and a pressure wave, both of them being components of a launch signal. In the illustrative embodiment, the system (30) includes a primer for generating the launch signal having. A processor (38, 40) computes the difference between the time elapsed between the receipt of both of the signal components and provides an ignition signal to the pyrotechnic rocket motor igniter (22) if the difference is within a predetermined valid time range. The predetermined valid time difference is computed based on the difference in position between both if the detectors, and the difference in velocities of said signal components. A safety switch (48) blocks the ignition signal when the missile (30) is not ready for use. |

An embodiment is described for the field of rocket assemblies. A case assembly including a case sleeve structure (102) and an end closure structure (104) having a mating portion (120) bonded to an inner receptacle surface region (108) of the case sleeve structure (102) with an adhesive material. The mating portion (120) is constructed and arranged to transfer longitudinal and radial operating loads from the adhesive material to the end closure structure (104), thereby making the adhesive bond insensitive to high internal operating pressures without the need for supplemental mechanical fasteners. The case assembly may be provided with Insensitive Munitions (IM) capability by selecting as the adhesive material a material having a glass transition temperature below the auto-ignition temperature of the propellant, and excluding from the case assembly any mechanical fasteners that prevent the sleeve-to-closure joint from structurally failing at a temperature below the auto-ignition temperature. |

The present disclosure provides a projectile with a self-contained internal chamber. Reaction of propellant inside the internal chamber can generate high pressure and the resultant exhaust gases can be used for projectile linear acceleration, rotational acceleration or other purposes. Torque can be produced by exhausting the pressure via radially placed, tangential nozzles or other outlets and can be configured to induce sufficient projectile spin to stabilize the projectile without the need for barrel rifling. The internal chamber may be separate or integral to the projectile itself. The projectile may include two or more chambers or compartments internal to the chambers. The disclosed projectile allows for higher pressures in the internal chamber than in the barrel and greater flexibility on pressure manipulation in the barrel and the projectile, allowing for a more efficient propellant combustion and manipulation of projectile characteristics such as muzzle and rotational speeds. |

A launcher system includes a launcher having a sealed breech and a barrel adapted to receive a projectile with a charge of propellant and a mechanism to vary the launch velocity by selectively controlling the propellant gases vented out of the projectile and into the barrel. A collar can be repositioned through rotation or sliding movement to selectively allow propellant gases to vent out of the barrel or stop propellant gases from venting out of the barrel. When the collar is in a closed or non-venting configuration, propellant gasses build-up pressure behind the projectile, resulting in a relatively high launch velocity and, when the collar is in the open or venting configuration, a relatively low launch velocity is produced. A sliding breech face and energy-absorbing plug can also be provided to further decrease launch velocity. |

A projectile comprises a payload and an aerodynamic outer housing. The outer housing is arranged, in launch and flight configurations, to surround the payload. The outer housing is further arranged, in the launch configuration, to be launched from a barrel of a launching gun or cannon. The outer housing is further arranged, in the flight configuration, to have a bi-tapered shape that is elongated along a fore-and-aft direction and has a longitudinal profile that tapers in both fore and aft directions. The outer housing is arranged to assume an exoatmospheric configuration upon reaching a target distance-from-launch, a target time-from-launch, a target altitude, or a target velocity. In the exoatmospheric configuration, either (i) the outer housing is arranged to release the payload or (ii) the outer housing and payload are arranged in a propulsion configuration. The projectile can include various additional components or adaptations to enable or achieve specific launch objectives. |

A gas gun launcher has a pump tube and a launch tube with a first end of the launch tube slidably inserted into a second end of the pump tube. The pump tube may hold a heat exchanger to heat a light gas used to launch a vehicle. A sliding seal can be employed to manage recoil and to retain the gas within the launch tube and the pump tube. A fast-closing muffler at the second end of the launch tube can conserve the light gas utilized for launching a vehicle, enabling the light gas to be recycled. A launch tube alignment system is preferably automatic, ensuring the survival of the launch vehicle. |
