  • Patent number: 8584588
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ammunition comprising an explosive charge confined in a compartment and a deconfinement device capable of deconfining the explosive charge under a pressure or temperature rise within the ammunition. The invention neutralizes the ammunition on command. According to the invention, the ammunition further includes means for activating the deconfinement device, these means being controllable.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8479653
    Abstract: Pyrotechnic charges that include an explosion generator and an explosive having an outer surface divided into n segments, each segment having kq multiple ignition points for the explosive, k and q being integer numbers greater than 1. The kq multiple ignition points for the explosive are linked by ignition lines forming, for each segment, at least two interleaved partial networks for synchronous ignition of the kq multiple ignition points, each of the partial synchronous ignition networks being linked to a respective partial network detonator.

  • Publication number: 20120012025
    Abstract: A munition, such as a missile, a rocket or a projectile, includes a body forming an internal volume and an explosive charge confined in the internal volume. It applies notably, but not exclusively, to munitions of which the explosive charge comprises coated explosive molecules in a polymer binder. The explosive charge substantially conforms to the shape of an internal longitudinal surface of the internal volume, the internal surface being substantially of revolution about an axis and including protruding portions and/or cavities making it possible to keep the explosive charge wedged in the body.
