Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system of powered bomb guidance includes a munition and a guidance system operable to detect a relative position of a target. The guidance system determines course corrections to direct the munition to the target and generates a control signal reflective of the course corrections. One or more explosive guidance units are disposed at one or more control surfaces disposed along an outer surface of the munition. Each explosive guidance unit is mechanically coupled to one of a plurality of control surfaces and in electrical communication with the guidance system. Each explosive guidance unit is configured to detonate in response to receiving the control signal from the guidance system and is further configured to apply force upon detonation to the control surface to which it is coupled.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ejection system for deploying a store includes a first cartridge actuated device coupled to a first release mechanism, a second cartridge actuated device coupled to a second release mechanism, and a controller circuit coupled to the first and second cartridge actuated devices. The first and second release mechanisms are configured to eject the store away from a vehicle. The controller circuit is operable to detonate the second cartridge actuated device at a specified period of time after the first cartridge actuated device is detonated.
