Abstract: A steerable parachute for carrying a payload towards a target. The parachute has a canopy for drag during descent connects to a basket by variable length variable length guy wires. A high cant drive system shortens or lengthens the guy wires to effect the cant of the canopy and thereby steer the parachute. The drive system is at least one of a coaxial opposed dual shaft system or a planetary gear system. This drive system provides the benefit of immediate and accurate course correction of the parachute during descent.

Abstract: A radially firing munition defining a longitudinal axis and comprising a nonfragmenatary hollow collar having an inner surface and an outer surface opposed thereto with a first plurality of ports extending therebetween in a substantially radial direction. An ammunition is disposed in each port of the first plurality of ports and oriented outwardly from the longitudinal axis. An ignition source is provided for expelling each ammunition from the collar in response to an ignition signal.

Abstract: An elongate munition with a longitudinal axis and having a nonfragmenation hollow collar. The hollow collar has an inner surface and an opposed outer surface with a first plurality of ports extending through the collar in a substantially radial direction. The ports are spaced from adjacent ports in both circumferential and longitudinal directions. A first plurality of ammunitions is disposed in each port of the first plurality of ports and oriented outwardly from the longitudinal axis. An ignition source for expelling each ammunition outwardly from the collar responsive to an ignition signal is also provided.

Abstract: A missile for delivering a payload and having a longitudinal axis. The missile comprises a nonfragmenation multi-directional munition having a hollow collar. The hollow collar has an inner surface and an outer surface opposed thereto and a first plurality of ports extending therebetween in a substantially radial direction. An ammunition is disposed in each port of the first plurality of ports, oriented outwardly from the longitudinal axis with an ignition source for expelling such ammunition from the collar. The missile also has at least one flight control surface for controlling a trajectory of the missile during flight and a controller for controlling the flight of the missile and the ignition source.
