  • Venting system for explosive warheads
    Patent number: 7331292
    Abstract: An ordnance venting system has one or more adapters that separate the warhead section from other sections of a rocket, or submunition compartments within the warhead itself. The adapters structurally fail at given temperatures and pressures to reduce the danger of explosion from heat induced over-pressurization. By dividing the sections of the rocket with the adapters, the separate sections of the rocket become physically separated by the structural failure of the adapters.
