Abstract: A multi-head military charge for dispersing multiple warheads from a vehicle has a carrier structure for carrying the projectiles. The carrying structure includes an ejectable casing and a central tube which is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the carrying vehicle. The central tube holds an annular support upon which the projectiles rest. A plurality of resilient securing devices hold the projectiles onto the annular support member. Each securing device has a bolt for clamping the securing device to the associated projectile. Ejector pistons are disposed within the carrier structure to propel each of the projectiles outside of the vehicle. Each ejector piston simultaneously releases the bolt clamping the securing device to the associated projectile and projects the projectile outside of the carrying vehicle.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mechanical and electrical coupling device for charges, particularly military charges. Such a coupling consists of a combination of hanging, steadying and electrical connection means arranged in such a way that the locking of the hanging means simultaneously and automatically ensures the steadying of the carried charge in all positions with respect to the carrier charge, as well as their electrical connection, without there being any need to perform adjustment operations. A plurality of charges may thus be firmly connected together for purposes of transporting them under an aircraft and subsequently ejecting them one by one, beginning with the one furthest from the aircraft. The invention is applied to the dropping of projectiles in strings.
