A jet bomb guidance system in which bi-directional nozzles are fired in a manner to produce force state changes resulting in improved level of control, greater force compatibility and greater efficiency in propellant fuel usage The system includes four bi-directional nozzles spaced at 90 degree intervals which at least four single nozzles are open at any given instant to maintain a substantially constant gas pressure. The system may be positioned at the nose portion, tail portion, or center of gravity of the bomb. |

A system which is packaged within a projectile fuze body and obtains data relative to the projectile during a launch. Sensors are provided which obtain in-bore data as well as in-flight data. The in-bore data is recorded at a fast rate during in-bore travel of the projectile and is read out, continuously, at a slower rate during in-flight travel. Both in-bore data and in-flight data are encoded and transmitted to a ground station for analysis. |

The disclosure relates to a low cost and highly accurate precision guided system suitable for use in conventional aircraft launched bombs. The system includes a kit mounted upon the nose of the conventional bomb which replaces the conventional fuse disposed in a fuse well, the kit including guidance electronics controlling a self-contained jet reaction device and GPS P-code receiver electronics. The bombs are readied for discharge by signals broadcast from the aircraft into the bomb bay which transfer initial GPS data and commence operation of a gas generator which powers the jet reaction device. |

The present invention is an ordnance fuze power source assembled from commercially available cells to form, fit and function in place of the lead/lead dioxide/fluboric acid spin activated reserve batteries now used by the Army and the Navy. Specifically, direct replacements for the U.S. Army HDL P/N 11744726 and 5058639 power sources were made using a series connection of commercially produced lithium anode cells in series with an acceleration activated switch supported in an epoxy matrix. However, the invention is applicable to other fuze power sources as well. Adoption of this invention by the armed forces will ease the logistics burden at the onset of a national emergency by providing a readily available supply of fuze batteries. |

This fuze is a subassembly of a spherical smoke grenade. The grenade compes a rubber case with the main charge therein. The fuze comprises a metal body one surface of which is sperhical and forms part of the spherical exterior of the grenade. The fuze comprises an arm/safe mechanism which includes pins, pull rings, a handle and a hermetically sealed delay ignition system which comprises a primer, two ignition mixes and a delay mix. The firing pin is mounted in a radial hole in the fuze body with an arm/safe pin mounted in another hole which is 90.degree. away from the firing pin hole. The arm/safe pin engages a slot in the firing pin to hold it in the safe or retracted position. The arm/safe mechanism is designed so that none of the parts thereof, except for the handle, can fly out as the grenade is thrown. The O-rings associated with the firing pin and the arm/safe pin are designed so that they provide a moisture proof seal during the shelf life of the grenade but when the grenade is thrown they do not produce any unwanted friction which might cause misfiring. |

This invention deals with the problem of premature functioning of shells with point detonating fuzes. A diffuser is provided in a fuze head to prevent a direct impact on the detonator by providing an effective cover to all elements of the detonator. This is done by providing the fuze head with a twisted flat, rectangular plate, which is substantially rigid for protection against, solid objects, the build-up of a large volume of rain and inhibit direct impact of such material upon the detonator. |

A TORQUE CLUTCH FOR TIME SETTABLE FUZES IN WHICH ASSEMBLY FRICTION IS GENERATED AT TWO INTERFACES BETWEEN ASBESTOS FIBER PADS AND A SMOOTH METAL SURFACE. AXIAL PRESSURE AT THESE INTERFACES IS PROVIDED BY A SPRING WASHER AND IS ADJUSTED BY A THREADED RING. THE THREADED ADJUSTING RING IS PINNED TO THE NONROTATING FUZE MEMBER AND THE LOWER ASBESTOS FRICTION PAD IS BONDED TO THE NONRATATING FUZE MEMBER TO ASSURE THAT THESE THREE PARTS DO NOT MOVE WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER.

A cylindrical fuze housing is rotatably mounted in a shell case on the spin axis and supported by an inner or central rear ball thrust bearing on said axis and by an outer ring or annular ball bearing within the shell case. The outer ring bearing is supported by a deformable thrust ring and the rear thrust ball is likewise mounted in a housing which, in turn, is supported by a second deformable thrust ring connected with the casing. The deformable rings take up the setback shock, and the bearings provide rotational movement between the shell case and the timing mechanism of the fuze, thereby protecting it from error due to shock and rotation.
