Marine Torpedoes TRIZ Cases
- Torpedo Igniter Coating and Control for Corrosive Starts
An Inconel-sealed igniter and battery-aware control keep torpedo combustion starts reliable in corrosive conditions and low-charge states.
- Modular UUV Connectors With Magnets for Tool-Free Repair
Magnetic modular connectors and ball bearings let UUV components be swapped by hand, cutting hull penetrations and easing field repair.
- Variable-Diameter Conical Nose for Adaptive Drag and Cavity Control
An overlapping cone with actuator-adjusted diameter balances drag, lift, and cavity envelopment across changing air-to-water speeds.
- Polymer Cartridge Snap-Fit Metal Insert for Extraction Strength
A snap-fit metal insert reinforces a polymer cartridge base to resist firing pressure and extraction pull-off while keeping weight low.
- Recessed Nosepiece Geometry for Water-Entry Cavity Suppression
A cup-shaped nose recess sized by Weber number suppresses water-entry cavities, keeping rear control surfaces wetted for stable travel.
- Tracked Control Surfaces for Aircraft Stability and Maneuverability
Movable control surfaces slide along tracks to adjust the center of pressure, resolving stability versus maneuverability trade-offs during angled launches.
- Underwater Vehicle Fuel Cell Safety Monitoring
Data processing unit monitors fuel cell temperature and hydrogen concentration to authorize operator approach.
- Parallel Combustor Configuration for UUV Propulsion Turbine
A parallel combustor configuration manages fuel flow across multiple sections to optimize power delivery in underwater vehicle propulsion turbines.
- Releasable Forward Section for Underwater Vehicle Drag Reduction
Jettisoning the forward section reduces wetted surface area and drag forces, extending operational time by reallocating thrust energy.
