An ammunition magazine mounted directly on a mortar to improve the firing rate of the mortar. The rounds of ammunition contained in the magazine are conveyed to a predetermined position through the use of a motor drive where they are taken by a transfer device that extracts them from the magazine and places them into the barrel of the mortar.

System for the loading of a mortar

This device concerns missiles and in particular those made up of a payload stage in the form of a sub-munitions cargo-container and a propulsion stage. It is intended for the separation and aerodynamic braking of the propulsion stage at the end of its operation so that the sub-munitions can be released without the risk of hitting it. It includes attachment by fitting and locking by shear screws of the two parts of the missile, an inflatable bag arranged in an annular housing, a mobile piston used to separate the two parts of the missile, an initiatable gas generator driving the mobile piston then inflating the bag, means of initiating the gas generator consisting of a primer and firing pin and sensitive to a drop in pressure of the gases in the propulsion stage.
