A housing intended to be arranged on a vehicle, in particular a military vehicle, and having a substantially parallelepiped shape including a front wall and a rear wall that each includes at least one bore for allowing air to flow inside the housing. At least one of the front or rear walls carries a plate, arranged outside the housing and at a distance from said wall, the housing further including at least one first slot allowing air to pass between the plate and the wall in question, and at least one second slot constituted by the gap between a lateral edge of the plate and said wall. The invention also concerns a weapon system including at least one missile launcher arranged in such a housing.

Embodiments are directed cook-off mitigation systems. As assembled, a munition fuzewell is torqued into the aft end of a munition. The fuzewell is hollow and has an inner and an outer surface. The hollow fuzewell is configured to release during cook-off. Release is assisted by employing a biased equivalent strength threaded release ring concentric about the fuzewell. The biased equivalent strength threaded release ring has a threaded inner surface and a threaded outer surface. The biased equivalent strength threaded release ring's threaded inner surface threadingly-engages with threads on the fuzewell's outer surface. A munition case is concentric about the biased equivalent strength threaded release ring.

Methods and systems are provided for a firearms suppressor adapted with blowout panels. In one example, the blowout panels may be configured to have a lower tolerance for pressure than the materials from which outer components of the suppressor are formed. During over pressure events of the suppressor, the blowout panels may rupture, thereby dissipating pressure in the suppressor.

Container for the transport or storage of batteries, the container having an internal storage space having a volume, the container comprising walls surrounding the storage space on all sides, the container having a lid to close the storage space, wherein, in a state wherein the storage space is closed by the lid, the lid constitutes a top wall of the storage space, wherein one or more of said walls are provided with one or more openings for venting -gas under pressure from the storage space to the outside air, the one or more openings having a total surface area of at least 1.0 square centimeter per liter volume of the storage space, wherein a layer of flame-retardant material extends over the one or more openings, the flame-retardant material being made of steel fibers or mineral fibers.

Embodiments are directed to a vented torque release device including hollow fuze well having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A wall is defined by the inner surface and the outer surface. A plurality of helical grooves are axially spaced at equal distance about the outer surface.

An overpressure protection system (30) for a magazine (10) for storing explosive materials. The magazine (10) comprises a wall (12) which defines an internal chamber (14) for housing the explosive materials, with a first aperture (20) defined in the wall (12). The overpressure protection system (30) is configured to close the first aperture (20). The system (30) comprises a burst disc diaphragm (32) for covering the first aperture (20), and a protective cover (34) for locating outside of the chamber (14) and over the burst disc diaphragm (32). The protective cover (34) is spaced apart from the burst disc diaphragm (32) to form a cavity (38) with an opening (36) for venting fluid from the cavity (38).
