Deployable Flare For Aerodynamically Stabilizing A Projectile

US Patent:
6783095, Aug 31, 2004
Filed:
Mar 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/396221
Inventors:
Hartley Hughes King - Santa Barbara CA
Thomas Louis Menna - Santa Barbara CA
Lawrence Steven Romero - Santa Ynez CA
Assignee:
ATT Corp. - New York NY
International Classification:
F42B 1510
US Classification:
244 328, 244 327, 244 329, 102520, 102377, 102400
Abstract:
The center of pressure of a projectile is caused to move upon the occurrence of an event that changes the static margin, such as the jettisoning of a body previously attached to the projectile, as noted above. In particular embodiments, this is achieved by a flare disposed toward the rear of the projectile. The flare has petals that deploy from a first, stowed position to a second, deployed position upon the occurrence of said event. In the stowed position, the petals are aligned with the air stream, in order to minimize drag. In the deployed position, the petals project into the air stream in such a way as to move the lift center rearward. A slide ring within the flare has sufficient inertia that it shifts aft in response to an acceleration that occurs when the attached body and the projectile are separated from one another. The slide ring is linked to the petals in such a way that the petals are deployed by the displacement of the slide ring. The slide ring is prevented from moving aft during launch of the projectile by slide supports which separate from the aft body when the separation event occurs.

Deployable Flare With Simplified Design

US Patent:
6869043, Mar 22, 2005
Filed:
Mar 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/396220
Inventors:
John Daryl Carlyle - Santa Barbara CA, US

Segmented Rod Projectile

US Patent:
7448324, Nov 11, 2008
Filed:
Aug 9, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/501540
Inventors:
Hartley Hughes King - Santa Barbara CA, US
Thomas Louis Menna - Santa Barbara CA, US
Lawrence Steven Romero - Santa Ynez CA, US
Assignee:
AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P. - Reno NV
International Classification:
F42B 12/58
US Classification:
102517, 102393, 102489
Abstract:
At least some of the segments of a segmented rod projectile are provided with a mechanism that causes them to divert away from the projectile's original line of flight after the segments are separated during flight to the target. That mechanism is illustratively a notched flare. The segments illustratively divert in a predetermined dispersion pattern. In order to ensure that each segment flies in the desired direction after separation, the disclosed projectile includes a mechanism that, just prior to segment separation, arrests spin of the projectile. Thus the segments are essentially non-spinning after separation and thus the desired diversion will not be counteracted by post-separation spin of the segments.
