An Integral Store Suspension and Communication Device (ISSCD) that transf power and data to and from a store, senses store separations, and provides mechanical suspension of a store.

Integral store suspension and communication device

A safety-arming device for use in a highly maneuverable missile is disclo which takes into account lateral acceleration of the missile and selects the proper point in the trajectory after which arming of the missile warhead may safely proceed. The safety-arming device uses a series of electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical interlocks to insure that premature arming of the missile warhead does not occur.

Trajectory adaptive safety-arming device

An aircraft-to-weapon fuze communication link that transfers fuzing inforion between the aircraft and weapon via an optical data and power link in the absence of any physical connection. The information is transferred via an infrared light beam in digital format. Power to run the fuze receiver during the data transfer process is supplied from a high power light source.

Aircraft to weapon fuze communication link

An air droppable, air-tight warhead cannister containing a plurality of prranged bomblets, each bomblet having a novel pressure-sensitive fuze capable of being committed to an 'armed' position by the presence of a predetermined fluid pressure in the cannister, and advanced to a fully 'armed' position when said fluid pressure is dissipated and said bomblets dispersed from their prearranged disposition within the cannister.

Pressure-armed ordnance fuze

An air droppable sealed warhead cannister capable of housing a plurality of omblets, each bomblet having a pressure-sensitive fuze capable of being controlled by the presence and absence of a predetermined pressure in the cannister.
