Abstract: Methods of and devices for providing naturally driven routing of air bleed derived from the external air pressure field typically developed about a moving vehicle were conceived. By design, internal duct ways to be used for providing an open flow path from relatively higher air pressure sources (such as that in the undercarriage region of a driven car) into lower base pressure regions (typically developed aft of blunt trailing body regions) as are generally found on road and ‘airdrop” cargo delivery air vehicles having open rear doors. Low energy air bleed flow injected into the vehicle's separated afterbody region acts to replenish entrained base flow and its base drag reduction is thereby, achieved.

Abstract: The FIRESHIELD approach presented herein is unique and designed as a barrier-like device capable of preventing wildfire embers from entering a structure's attic through its air vents while preserving the mold-resistant qualities as that of an open air vent. Modifications of air vents to a rooftop's attic are to be made with the retrofitting of an oversized FIRESHIELD panel that is externally mounted with a narrow ‘standoff’ gapped region. This panel acts as a barrier to wildfire driven embers and also forms an inner air channel pathway that accommodates air ventilation to the attic. This unique design is called a FIRESHIELD device and covers the typical air vent with an external attachment device consisting of a low cost, sheet-like panel (such as an aluminum sheet) with attachment to the rooftop air vent so as to provide a narrow ‘standoff’ air gap for maintaining ventilation. In this manner, inner-attic rooftop fire starts typically caused by air vent ingested embers that initiate from urban wildfires can largely be avoided and many lives and homes could be saved due to the application of this invention.

Abstract: There is provided a ring tail for a ballistic projectile and an associated method that facilitate maneuverability of the ballistic projectile. The ring tail comprises a ring member having a generally cylindrical wall and at least one rod joined to an aft section of the ballistic projectile and the ring member. The rod defines an adjustable length, wherein an actuation device joined to the at least one rod adjusts the length to thereby maneuver the ballistic projectile during flight. The ring tail may include generally radially oriented panels and may also include a second ring member joined to the distal ends of the panels such that the ring members are coaxial. Once the projectile has been launched, the ring member extends aftward to provide aerodynamic stability, which may be measured by a guidance sensor in electronic communication with the actuation device that adjusts the length of the at least one rod.

Abstract: A bomb damage assessment system that is carried by a weapon and released to provide imagery of a bombed area before and after bomb delivery. The system comprises a glider that is releasably secured to the weapon that includes tracking and guidance electronics for programmably controlling the flight thereof. An imaging system is disposed in the front end of the glider and a deployable ballute is disposed at the rear end thereof. A data link is provided for transmitting images to a command center for review. The system provides imagery of a target area before, during and after weapon impact. Television or infrared cameras may be used for day or night missions. As a target area is approached, the glider is released, is decelerated by the ballute, wings are unfolded, and the ballute is released, resulting in an aerodynamic vehicle that flies much slower than the weapon. The imaging system tracks the weapon to impact. The explosion of the weapon produces a hot spot that is tracked by the imaging system. The hot spot is tracked until a preselected depression angle is reached. The glider banks until the hot spot is at a predetermined angle relative to the centerline thereof. This results in a spiral glide path around the hot spot so that the target area is viewed from all aspects. The spiral path also results in a monotonically decreasing range to the hot spot. The glider may employ a GPS receiver, and the target location in GPS coordinates may be entered into the guidance and control system. The glider may be programmed to fly along a specific path or geometric surface in GPS coordinates toward the target. Using a fixed field of view imaging system, a large amount of background is seen from long range and better linear resolution is obtained at short range until the glider descends to the ground. Bomb damage assessment may be performed at the command center within minutes of weapon impact.

Abstract: A missile includes a missile body having a nose, a tail, and a center of gravity therebetween. A plurality of blades are arranged symmetrically around the missile body at a location between the nose and the center of gravity. The blades are deployable from a stowed position folded flat against the body of the missile to a deployed position extending outwardly from the body of the missile, and are mounted so as to be biased toward the deployed position. A retaining wire extends circumferentially around the body of the missile and captures the blades thereunder. The retaining wire may be controllably severed by a pyrotechnic device to release the blades to extend to the deployed position. The extended blades cause the missile to tumble from a first stable orientation to a second stable orientation, permitting it to be quickly pointed in the opposite direction without expenditure of fuel.
