Application of Airbag with Gas Generator for Submunition Dispersion

摘要

A newly suggested idea which is employed in this submunition dispersion system to improve the ejection velocity of a submunition is described. The key technology to improve the efficiency is based on the designs of the airbag shape and the container to keep the airbag inflation toward the predetermined direction of which is the same direction of the submunition dispersion. To improve the efficiency of this system, the attached parts are also compactly devised in order to make the gas flow into the airbag quickly with the perfect sealing condition. Several ignition tests are also carried out to establish the fast ignition of propellant in a gas generator. With this idea, the presented submunition dispersion system is improved to have a good performance to eject a submunition. In the warhead design, the effective dispersion system is highly required under the restricted condition of small vacancy. Therefore, the compact design of the submunition dispersion which is suggested in this paper would be very useful to apply a dispersion system in the warhead.
