  • Patent number: 4653403
    Abstract: Apparatus for ejecting and dispersing a payload of passive radiation interference material into the near vicinity of a tactical aircraft comprises a cartridge case adapted for carrying and launching at least one cylindrical payload disk, the cartridge case having a lineal length of rack teeth within its bore and the payload disk having at least a portion of its exterior circumferential extent with matching gear teeth such that upon explosively pressurizing the cartridge case the payload disk is ejected exhibiting high linear and rotational velocities. The payload disk has tapered bore wall surfaces which confine the payload material and upon being ejected the spin-stabilized payload disk disperses the payload substantially uniformly within the first few milliseconds after leaving the cartridge case.

  • Patent number: 4586439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cartridge (1) for launching decoy material, for example chaff. The cartridge (1) contains several cassettes (11, 12, 13, 14), each cassette containing several payloads (15) with chaff or other passive and active decoys. An electronic ignition signal device (5) ensures that the payloads (15) and the cassettes (11, 12, 13, 14) may be launched in an arbitrary sequence. By means of the invention a compact cartridge is obtained which may contain a great number of payloads (10) and which has a high reliability.
