GRENADE WITH INDEPENDENTLY DETACHABLE CARPEL SEGMENTS
20220373310 · 2022-11-24 ·

Disclosed herein is a grenade with a plurality of independently detachable carpel segments each containing a charge and independently detonated from other carpel segments. The grenade may include a head section with a triggering mechanism, and a modular hollow core with a rod having an upward mechanical bias towards the head section, which may include a safety pin, lever, and pivot. When the pin is pulled, a lever can be released after timed delay, and the release of the lever allows the rod to advance upward, which triggers strike pins that strike a primer which ignites a propellent that ejects a carpel segment from the core. The propellent simultaneously ignites a fuse in the body of the carpel segment, and the fuse triggers a detonation of the main charge in the carpel. Timed delays on the fuse can be used to cause the carpel segments to detonate at different times.

IMPACT ACTIVATED CROWD CONTROL MECHANISM AND DEVICE

Electromagnetic Grenade
20230096931 · 2023-03-30 ·

The Electromagnetic Grenade is a destructive device used to disable Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). The Electromagnetic Grenade is a purpose-built shell/round that utilizes an explosively pumped flux compression generator to create an electromagnetic pulse destructive enough to disable or destroy UGVs and similar military equipment which employ electricity as energy for onboard systems. The electromagnetic grenade includes a standard shell casing with primer, a power source, capacitor bank, a solenoid, and a standard fuse. The casing and size of the shell can be changed to suit the weapon system that will employ the Electromagnetic Grenade. The design can be scaled to work with smaller and larger ordinance which will include small arms, artillery shells, bombs, missiles, rockets, sub-munitions, loitering munitions and similar.

FRAGMENTATION PATTERN, OPTIMIZED FOR DRAWN CUP WARHEADS WITH A DOME AND CYLINDRICAL WALL

Provided is a frangible munitions device optimized for a dome and cylinder that yields fragments having shapes corresponding to a predetermined embossment pattern upon explosive rupture. The embossment pattern includes a first set of inner regular hexagonal embossments formed into the dome and cylinder that are aligned with the axis of the cylinder, and a second set of outer pre-deformed hexagonal shapes that distort to produce regular hexagonal shapes after drawing into the cylinder wall. The second set of shapes are separated by sharp transition regions. The shapes are embossed in a repeated pattern around the hollow cylinder and the dome top. The dome yields a plurality of fragments having shapes corresponding to the first set of inner regular hexagonal embossments upon explosive rupture, while the cylinder yields a plurality of fragments having shapes corresponding to the second set of outer pre-deformed hexagonal embossments upon explosive rupture.
