Abstract: The present invention relates in general to a recoilless weapon (1) and, in particular to a new high- and low pressure system for recoilless weapons (1).

Abstract: A launchable unit including a warhead for generating non-nuclear electro magnetic pulses and a thermobaric warhead without dangerous fragments. The warheads in combination are arranged to operate in different modes dependent on target types and/or objectives with engagement controlled by the aiming and setting of the weapon by a gunner.

Abstract: A method for reducing the amount of ammunition types to be used against a wide set of targets. At least two explosive charges are made use of in cooperation. Each of the explosive charges has changeable characteristics and is arranged to mutually cooperate in different ways depending on the particular changeable characteristics given to the explosive charges in a specific case and the type of target to be combated. An ammunition device admitting a reduction of the amount of ammunition types to be used. At least two cooperating explosive charges are arranged in a row along the direction of movement of the ammunition device when activated. Each of the explosive charges is switchable between at least two operating conditions having different operating characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device by means of which it has been made possible, without gas discharge to the surrounding environment, to accelerate the speed of a powder-gas-driven projectile from zero to a speed which gives the projectile free-flying characteristics. According to the invention, this has been made possible by utilizing at least some of the expansion force from the propellant powder charge, which discharges gas when it is initiated, for, by a displaceable piston, driving a countermass out of the rear part of the projectile in the direction opposite to the desired flying direction of the projectile.

Abstract: An arrangement for management of a soldier in network-based warfare. The arrangement includes sighting-related equipment for position determination, taking measurements and communication with the environment. The arrangement gives the soldier adequate information in an accessible way without subjecting the soldier to unnecessary loads. The sighting-related equipment is arranged in a combined unit carried by the soldier and information produced by the equipment is at least partially displayed superimposed on a display device.

Abstract: A system for determining the distance between a target (4) and a laser guided weapon traveling towards the target (4). The system (1) comprises a laser designator (5) on a remote platform (2) for radiating a first train of pulses (l1) on a set wavelength in the direction of the target (4). In the weapon (3) a receiver (6) is arranged to receive and detect pulses on the set wavelength reflected from the target (4). There is also a direction sensing means in the weapon (3) for determining the direction of the target (4). A transmitter (7) is arranged in the weapon (3) to periodically transmit a second train of pulses (l2) on the set wavelength in the direction of the target (4). There are means in the receiver (6) to extract a reflection from the target (4) of the second train of pulses (l2). There are further timing means to determine the period of time from transmitting the second train of pulses (l2) to receiving the reflection from the target (4) of the second train of pulses (l2).

Abstract: A system for determining the distance between a target (4) and a laser guided weapon traveling towards the target (4). The system (1) comprises a laser designator (5) on a remote platform (2) for radiating a first train of pulses (I1) on a set wavelength in the direction of the target (4). In the weapon (3) a receiver (6) is arranged to receive and detect pulses on the set wavelength reflected from the target (4). There is also a direction sensing means in the weapon (3) for determining the direction of the target (4).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for guiding a missile. In accordance with the prior art, the angle position of a target (9) when the missile (3) is expected to reach the target is predicted on the basis of the angular velocity determined in a preceding time period. In order to improve the strike accuracy, the operator, in a second subsequent time period, tracks the actual position of the missile in relation to the predicted angle position of the target. If a deviation is observed, a correction command is transmitted to the missile in order to correct the missile trajectory. For this purpose, a communications link is provided to transmit the correction command given by the operator.

Abstract: Arrangement for a terminally guided projectile provided with a target seeking arrangement and path correction arrangement. The arrangement includes a preferably fin-stabilized, slowly-rotating artillery shell which is provided with an elongated cavity into which the terminally guided projectile, which comprises a fin-stabilized mortar projectile, is introduced. The mortar projectile is arranged so that it is ejected rearwards from the artillery shell by means of a separation charge in the vicinity of a selected target, after which the mortar projectile is terminally guided towards the target in a manner known per se.
