122 | Land mine having timed ignition means | EP80850078.9 | 1980-06-02 | EP0022099A1 | 1981-01-07 | Arnell, Claes Göran |
There is provided a landmine which comprises a casing, an ignition means (25), a de-masking charge (23), a detonator charge (24) and an explosive charge (26). The ignition means (25) comprises an electronic timing unit (28), an electric motor (20) and an operating shaft (30) which can be locked mechanically by two safety means (11,12) in a first angular safe position and is driven by the motor (20) via a transmission gear and which allows activation of the de-masking charge (23) and the detonator charge (24) in a second angular live position. The speed of the motor (20) exceeds 5000 r.p.m. and is preferably 15000 r.p.m., while the speed at which the operating shaft rotates is of the order of 1/40 r.p.m. When the mine has not exploded within a given time period, the electronic timing unit (28) restarts the motor (20) for rotation of the operating shaft (30) into a third angular re-safe position, which can be identical to its first angular position. During its rotation, the operating shaft (30) can also activate one of the safety means (11,12) for locking shaft rotation, and means for marking on the mine the condition of the mine, i.e. whether the mine is safe or live, and for marking above the ground the position of the mine in its re-safe state. |

126 | Threat response signal inhibiting apparatus for radio frequency controlled devices and corresponding methods | US14713986 | 2015-05-15 | US09716566B2 | 2017-07-25 | Timothy Patrick Dunnigan |
An apparatus (100) includes a canine harness (101) with a radio frequency inhibitor (400). A leash (1002) can serve as a control device (102). The leash can selectively mechanically couple to the canine harness and electrically couple an actuator (114) to the radio frequency inhibitor. When the actuator is actuated, the radio frequency inhibitor is to emit one or more radio frequency inhibition signals (405), which can include the emission of all programmed signals simultaneously. Radio frequency inhibitors can also be integrated into clothing or armor (1802), as well as equipment (1901). The radio frequency inhibitor can interrupt, suppress, or halt electronic detonation communications to an explosive device. | ||||||

An escapement fuze self-destruct mechanism for a projectile includes a drive weight that maintains a biasing member in a compressed state by centrifugal force when a projectile's RPM speed is above a preselected threshold. When the RPM speed falls below the preselected threshold, the biasing member exerts sufficient counter-rotational force to overcome the centrifugal force exerted by the drive weight. The biasing member expands to an uncompressed state and displaces the drive weight into position for mechanically implementing self-destruction of the projectile if a rotor is fully armed or for rendering the projectile “safe” if the rotor is in any position other then fully armed. | ||||||
