101 FUZE SHOCK TRANSFER SYSTEM US14537934 2014-11-11 US20160131467A1 2016-05-12 Brandon J. Cundiff; John J. Spilotro; Wayne Y. Lee; Kim L. Christianson; Thomas H. Bootes; Jason M. Shire; Jesse T. Waddell
A munition has a fuze that is mounted nonparallel to the axis of the munition, for example having a largest extent that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the munition. Shocks from the fuze are transferred through a shock transfer device that is in contact with the fuze, to an initiation device that is also in contact with the shock transfer device. Shocks passing through the shock transfer device to the initiation coupler pass through a relatively narrow neck of the shock transfer device. In the shock transfer device the shock is concentrated and located precisely at the neck, before spreading out again and being transferred to the initiation device. In the initiation device the shock may detonate a high explosive material, which in turn is used to detonate a main explosive of the munition, such as a warhead.

104 High shock survivable fuze US13444867 2012-04-12 US09146088B1 2015-09-29 Fred Gunther Filsinger
A high shock survivable fuze, system, and method are presented. At least one shock-survivable fuze that survives a high shock environment comprises a timer, a detonator, and a protective housing. The timer sends a fire signal after a programmed delay in response to an arming command. The detonator initiates an explosion in an explosive in response to the fire signal, and the protective housing protects the timer and the detonator from the high shock environment. An arming module communicates with the at least one shock-survivable fuze and sends the arming command.
105 Single round exploder US14221052 2014-03-20 US20150268023A1 2015-09-24 S. Mill Calvert
A single round exploder is a system for remotely exploding a firearm cartridge. The system includes a regular firearm cartridge having a casing with a rim, a primer, a propellant, and a bullet. A receiving body made of a frangible material defines a hole to permit insertion of the cartridge up to its rim. An ignition cover holds a primer pin that can be made to strike the cartridge to fire it. A payload may be included within the receiving body. A solenoid may be used to move the primer pin to strike the case head discharging the cartridge. A plunger handle extending out of the ignition cover enables activation by throwing or dropping the single round exploder. An adhesive may be affixed to the receiving body on an exterior surface to enable combining more than one single round exploder together.

107 WAD WITH IGNITION CHAMBER US14455673 2014-08-08 US20140345488A1 2014-11-27 David K. Schluckebier; Kevin R. Cross; Ricky J. Buckmaster; Spencer D. Wildman
A wad or basewad for ammunition includes an ignition chamber. The ignition chamber can be integrally formed with the payload wad, basewad, or battery cup or can be attached to the payload wad, basewad, or battery cup. The ignition chamber communicates with a primer of the ammunition to receive and contain the primer blast for at least an initial period of time. This facilitates faster initial ignition of the propellant of the ammunition, and consequently allows higher performance levels to be achieved. Other advantages regarding other applications of this invention include cleaner burning loads, greater economy, and lower perceived recoil.

112 Shock dampened explosive initiator assembly and method for dampening shock within a delivery vehicle US13076684 2011-03-31 US08430028B2 2013-04-30 Bradley Biggs; Timothy B. Bonbrake; George Darryl Budy
Some embodiments pertain to an initiator support assembly that includes a casing and one or more initiator leads extending from the casing. The transmission of current through the initiator leads detonates an explosive charge within the casing. The casing includes a flange and a dampening member attached to the flange. The dampening member is between the flange and a structure where the initiator support assembly is mounted. The dampening member dampens shock that would otherwise be transferred from the structure to the initiator support assembly. In another example embodiment, at least a portion of the casing is formed of an interior wall, a dampening layer covering at least a portion of the interior wall and an exterior wall. The dampening layer dampens shock to the initiator support assembly that would otherwise be transferred from a structure to the initiator support assembly when the exterior wall is mounted to the structure.

A fuze guidance system is configurable by an end user, allowing the end user to select between different configurations of canards of the system. The different configurations of canards may include canards with different surface areas, optimized for providing appropriate control with different sizes of munitions. The different configurations may be accomplished by having canards with separable portions which may be broken off or otherwise removed by the end user, to reduce canard surface area and/or span. Alternatively the fuze guidance system may come in a kit with multiple sets of canards having different sizes or otherwise having different configurations for providing different aerodynamic characteristics. The end user may select a canard set based on the munition size or type that the fuze guidance system is to be used with.
