PAYLOAD PLATFORM FOR UNMANNED VEHICLES
A system that is mountable to an unmanned vehicle and a method of operation is provided. The system includes an attachment plate configured to couple to the unmanned vehicle, the attachment plate having a first feature. A control module is configured to removably couple to the attachment plate, the control module having one or more processors and a power source, the control module having a pin arranged to move from a first position to a second position when the control module is coupled to the attachment plate, the one or more processors being energized when the pin is moved from the first position to the second position. A payload having an energetic element is provided, the payload being coupled to the control module.
PERCUSSION FUSE
The invention relates to a percussion fuse having an active sensor, which generates a sensor voltage, having a filter circuit consisting of a high pass and at least one low pass, in order to be able to adjust dynamic percussion characteristics. The invention further relates to an operating state switch, which can transition the percussion fuse into one of two operating states, specifically into an activated and a deactivated operating state. To this end, the operating state switch is switched into one of the two operating states by means of a safety voltage. In the active operating state, the sensor voltage is supplied directly to the threshold value switch and in the deactivated operating state, the sensor voltage is held below the threshold value of the threshold value switch by an input limiter.
UNMANNED VEHICLE WITH MULTIPLE PAYLOAD PLATFORMS
An unmanned vehicle and a method of operating the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a fuselage and at least one thrust device coupled to the fuselage. A first payload module having an first attachment plate is fixedly coupled to the fuselage, the first payload module further having a first control module removably coupled to the first attachment plate and a first payload having a first energetic element. A second payload module having an second attachment plate is fixedly coupled to the fuselage adjacent the first payload module, the second payload module further having a second control module removably coupled to the second attachment plate and a second payload having a second energetic element.
FIRE-FIGHTING DEVICE
Disclosed is a fire-fighting device, which includes a casing that delimits an inner cavity in which at least one dispersible fire-extinguishing agent is deposited, and pyrotechnics suitable for generating an explosion causing the casing to rupture and the fire-extinguishing agent to be dispersed. The pyrotechnics include at least one explosive charge, generating the explosion, and a detonator for triggering the explosion of the at least one explosive charge. The detonator includes an ignition device designed to trigger, when in an active state, the explosion of the at least one explosive charge, and an impact sensor designed to detect a mechanical impact received by the device and to bring the ignition device to the active state upon detection of the mechanical impact.
