  • Armament system with a non-rotating slip-fit labyrinth seal
    Patent number: 12729767
    Abstract: A stub base seal comprises a non-rotating slip-fit labyrinth seal to provide additional sealing properties. The labyrinth seal serves to capture errant gasses in the event of a partial leakage between the stub base and a concentric surrounding surface and leverages eddy flow effects to induce back flow impingement thereby reducing the flow rate through a leaking cavity.

  • Transfer ring turnbuckle
    Patent number: 11536548
    Abstract: A projectile enables axial assembly and precise angular alignment of cylindrical or ogival sections of the projectile without interfering with internal parts spanning those sections. The projectile includes a turnbuckle design that minimizes Outer Mold Line (OML) transitions and maintains structural integrity. Advantageously, the turnbuckle allows surface mounted antennas and internal electronics to span structural sections of the projectile. The minimal OML produces less turbulence and drag. Finally, the turnbuckle is structurally robust for gun launched applications.
