Abstract: A passive impact sensor for a projectile configured to explode, destroy with kinetic energy, embed or pass through an object with a closing velocity greater than 1,000 m/s. The passive impact sensor includes an energy generating system comprised of a crystalline structure that stores latent polarized electrical energy. The crystalline structure is responsive to an impact generated shock wave that propagates at least partially through the crystalline structure to consume and depolarize the crystalline structure and release at least a portion of the stored energy to generate a voltage pulse across output terminals. An onboard antenna is configured to transmit an RF pulse responsive to the voltage pulse (direct or integrated) external to the impact sensor (and projectile) before the sensor is destroyed by the shock wave. Multiple energy generating systems can be positioned either together or fore and aft and their voltage pulses summed to transmit the RF pulse. The benefits of this device include the ability to determine impact force, impact velocity, impact angle, target mass, target density, and direct or glancing impact.

Abstract: A payload deployment system includes a mount for receiving one or more payload modules that each include one or more payloads to be deployed. The payload modules also each include a sleeve, with the one or more payloads are in one or more openings in the sleeve. The payloads may be contained in respective containers, such as hermetically-sealed containers, that are in the openings. The electrical coupling may be wireless coupling, for transferring electrical power to the payload module(s), and for communication, such as networked communication, between the mount and the one or more payload modules. The wireless coupling may be inductive coupling that involves overlap of inductive elements such as wire coils. The payload deployment system may also include one or more translators for translating commands and/or other communications between the one or more payload modules and a platform to which the payload deployment system is coupled.
Abstract translation: 有效载荷部署系统包括用于接收一个或多个有效负载模块的装载,每个有效载荷模块包括要部署的一个或多个有效载荷。 有效载荷模块还各自包括套筒,其中一个或多个有效载荷在套筒中的一个或多个开口中。 有效载荷可以包含在开口中的各个容器中,例如密封的容器中。 电耦合可以是无线耦合,用于将电力传送到有效载荷模块,以及用于在安装座和一个或多个有效负载模块之间的通信,例如网络通信。 无线耦合可以是感应耦合,其涉及电感元件(例如线圈)的重叠。 有效载荷部署系统还可以包括一个或多个翻译器,用于在一个或多个有效载荷模块与有效载荷部署系统耦合到的平台之间转换命令和/或其他通信。
