Abstract
An apparatus to remove, energetically, a ballistic tolerant window. The elements include a ballistic tolerant fillet, which extends from the periphery of the ballistic tolerant window. Proximate to a perimeter of the fillet is a plurality of apertures that match up with holes on a tubular frame. The frame and fillet are joined using fastening elements, which are fitted in the holes and apertures. The tubular frame is a polygonal tube having sides useful for mounting the frame to an airframe and for mounting an expanding energetic element with a detonating cord. The energetic element is mounted on the frame adjacent to the fastening elements. When the energetic element is detonated, the explosive force is sufficient to cause the window to separate, energetically, from the tubular frame.
