  • Patent number: 10330450
    Abstract: A scalable mine deployment system establishes a close range tactical anti-vehicle obstacle. The scalable mine deployment system includes a deployment pod, a munitions control unit and a remote control station. The deployment pod deploys anti-vehicle munitions in response to a control signal received at the remdte control station and relayed via the munitions control unit. The deployment pods are arranged according to desired field properties and are configured to deploy one or more munitions at a selectable density.

  • Patent number: 8161884
    Abstract: A selective fragmentation pattern of explosive material is applied to a surface of a munition. None, some, or all of the explosive material in the selective fragmentation pattern may be detonated, selectively stamping the surface of the munition with the detonated explosive material. The portion of the selective fragmentation pattern selected for ignition is determined by lethality requirements of a target of the munition. Upon detonation of the munition, fragments are formed based on the selected portion of the selective fragmentation pattern. Consequently, igniting all, some, or none of the selective fragmentation pattern may vary lethality of a munition and one munition may be used for a wide range of lethality.
