Abstract: A hose handle that is a more convenient and comfortable way to hold a hose, which can be easily attached and removed to allow easy hose handler substitution, and that does not move along the length of the hose after being attached.

Abstract: A short-range radar system having a unquie method of processing a linear CW signal so as to provide target range information at the time of target detection. The linear FW/CW signal is mixed with a portion of the transmitted signal and with an intermediate frequency ramp signal to produce a difference frequency signal in the form of a frequency ramp which is a function of the range to the target. The ramp signal is then converted to a pulse which is determinative of the range to the target.

Abstract: A target detection device which functions a warhead at a predetermined het above the surface of the earth. A frequency modulated, pseudo-noise coded signal reflects from the surface of the earth to provide Doppler signals to a dual gate Doppler amplifier system. The voltage outputs of the two gates are compared; and a signal is sent to a threshold circuit to ascertain when a predetermined relationship exists between the two voltage outputs to decide when the target detection device is at a predetermined height, at which time a trigger signal actuates a time delay circuit using the Doppler frequency to generate a time delay that is dependent upon the vertical velocity of the target detection device. After the time delay, a signal is sent to a firing circuit which produces a firing pulse to function the warhead.
