  • Projectile-launcher actuated by induction
    Patent number: 5088381
    Abstract: In a projectile-launcher actuated by induction, the guidance tubes are made of austenitic, stainless steel with high resistivity, transparent to the induction phenomenon. This makes it possible to obtain optimal mechanical strength while at the same time deriving the benefit of the advantages of actuation by induction between an inducation coil wound on each tube and an armature winding wound on the projectile. The disclosed device can be applied to all types of ground or airborne rocket-launchers.
