Abstract: A biodegradable polymeric sheet may be configured to undergo biodegradation on the ground responsive to an exposure to free air and natural day light. The biodegradable polymeric sheet may include a first layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50% and a polyester matrix, the first layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water; a second layer comprising a polysaccharide at a weight % of at least 40% and a polyester matrix; and a third layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50%, a polyester matrix and an additive configured to accelerate disintegration of the polymeric sheet when exposed to natural day light, the third layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water.

Abstract: A method of delivering over the air, shelled portions of fluids or granular substances containing effective ingredients, to a target, includes the following stages: selecting a type and a size of the shelled portions containing the required effective ingredients, based on mission parameters and physical data of a scene containing the target; conveying the shelled portions to a delivery point, based on the mission parameters and the physical data; and ballistically delivering the shelled portions towards the target, wherein the shelled portions comprise fluids or granular substances covered by shells that provide the shelled portions a ballistic coefficient that is significantly higher than a ballistic coefficient of similar portions without the shells.

Abstract: An ammunition magazine contains an ammunition belt of linked ammunition cartridges to be fed into a machine gun, the magazine including a front opening, enabling a leading end of the ammunition belt to be accessible for feeding the machine gun and for linking with a trailing end of another ammunition belt, and a rear opening, enabling a trailing end of the ammunition belt to be accessible for linking with a leading end of another ammunition belt. An arrangement of consecutive and adjacent ammunition magazines allows movement of an ammunition belt from the distal magazine into the proximal magazine towards the machine gun during operation, enabling continuous feeding of ammunition belts into the machine gun. An ammunition loading system for conveying ammunition between a magazine platform and a hull region, including a lifting mechanism to lift an ammunition magazine into the magazine platform from the hull region.
