A patterned metal IM liner in compressible material controls casing fragment size and shape while preserving munition safety under shock and heat.
A barrel nozzle drives propellant gas to supersonic flow while a degradable sabot ablates to protect the barrel and raise projectile velocity.
A self-contained inert round uses thermocouples, an antenna, and aerogel insulation to capture gun bore temperature data without wired loading.
Preformed fragments linked by weak bridges stay intact in flight, then split on impact to increase controlled fragmentation in armored targets.
A two-part bullet core uses strong rear bonding and weaker nose attachment to deliver controlled fragmentation and a defined residual fragment.
A telescopic training round uses hydraulic length adjustment and onboard sensors to simulate mortar firing conditions with real-time feedback.
A frangible-cap cartridge controls spin and separation in rifled bores to deliver predictable close-range projectile patterns from semi-automatic launchers.
Inductively activated payloads disable UAVs through entanglement, sensor obscuration, or adhesion while limiting collateral damage.
Polygonal apertures in a deformable foam dart cap spread weight and absorb impact, improving flight accuracy while reducing injury risk.
A partially hollow projectile lets air pass through the body and uses pointed ends plus a gas block seal to cut drag and extend range.
Smooth projectile grooves formed by elastic deformation avoid contour jumps and material displacement, enabling faster production with minimal performance impact.
An expanding deflector and gas valve help a grounding sabot transfer ignition force efficiently while cutting drag to preserve projectile velocity.
A hardened insert sliding inside a softer barrel helps a blank firing attachment contain accidental live rounds and warn users before failure.
Iron hollow-point forming replaces lead and machined fillers to improve precision, controlled mushrooming, and lower production cost.
A discarding carrier shields the projectile's radar-absorbing layer during launch, then separates to preserve low radar observability in flight.
Separate projectile concavities prevent deformation during firing, preserving velocity and delivering consistent long-range shot patterns.
