연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

An apparatus is disclosed that is a self-contained gas management system (hereinafter “GMS”) that accommodates individual canisters of highly energetic small munitions, but is not so limited. By decoupling the gas management system for a given munition from an adjacent munition, the risk of downing a multi-pack launcher or munition adapter is reduced. Thermal wear, overheating, restrained firing and aft closure debris can be isolated through the separation of gas management systems. In addition, the GMS allows for ease of replenishment and maintenance of a given sub-cell of a multi-pack system. The GMS works with existing munitions and canisters without the need to modify them. Each GMS is dimensioned to fit the canistered munition it receives as well as the launch system with which it is used. The illustrative GMS comprises a plenum, and a first and a second uptake structure. The plenum receives the exhaust from the canistered munition when the munition fires. The plenum is fluidically coupled to the first and second uptake structures. The uptake structures in the illustrative embodiment receive the missile exhaust from the plenum and vent the exhaust to the atmosphere. In the illustrative embodiment, the first and second uptake structures are disposed along opposite sides of the canistered munition, flanking it.

1. An apparatus comprising: (a) a plenum that (i) is dimensioned and arranged to fluidically couple via a sealing interface to a first end of a canistered munition, and(ii) when fluidically coupled to the first end of the canistered munition via the sealing interface, receives the exhaust from the munition when the munition is fired, wherein the sealing interface prevents the exhaust from venting at the sealing interface; and(b) a first uptake structure that (i) is fluidically coupled to the plenum, and(ii) guides the exhaust from the plenum to the atmosphere;wherein the apparatus removably receives the canistered munition, andwherein the apparatus is at least partially removable from a vertical launch system to receive the canistered munition, andwherein the dimensions of the plenum and of the first uptake structure are based on the dimensions of the canistered munition, andwherein the plenum and the first uptake structure collectively define a gas management system for the canistered munition. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: an enhanced munitions adapter that accommodates a plurality of canistered munitions, wherein:(i) each canistered munition is operatively coupled to a respective gas management system, and wherein each gas management system operates independently, and(ii) the vertical launch system removably receives the enhanced munitions adapter. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: an enhanced munitions adapter that accommodates a plurality of canistered munitions, wherein:(i) each canistered munition is operatively coupled to a respective gas management system, and wherein each gas management system operates independently,(ii) the enhanced munitions adapter is removably receivable by an enclosure in a cell of the vertical launch system, wherein the enclosure comprises a sealing bulkhead that separates the enclosure into a munitions compartment and an electronics compartment,(iii) the enhanced munitions adapter is disposed in the munitions compartment, and(iv) the enclosure is at least partially removable from the cell. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the gas management system further comprises a second uptake structure, wherein the second uptake structure: (i) is fluidically coupled to the plenum; and(ii) guides the exhaust from the plenum to the atmosphere. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first uptake structure is disposed alongside the canistered munition. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first uptake structure guides the exhaust in the direction of a hatch assembly in the vertical launch system. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the vertical launch system is one of a MK 41 VLS and a MK 57 VLS. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the gas management system is not concentric relative to the canistered munition. 9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the canistered munition is an energetic munition. 10. An apparatus for use in a single-cell vertical launch system that is suitable for use as a guest launcher within a host launcher, the apparatus comprising: an enhanced munitions adapter that accommodates a plurality of canistered munitions, wherein:(i) each canistered munition is operatively coupled to a respective gas management system, and wherein each gas management system operates independently,(ii) the enhanced munitions adapter is removably receivable by an enclosure in a cell of the vertical launch system, wherein the enclosure comprises a sealing bulkhead that separates the enclosure into a munitions compartment and an electronics compartment,(iii) the enhanced munitions adapter is disposed in the munitions compartment, and(iv) each gas management system comprises: (a) a plenum that (i) is dimensioned and arranged to fluidically couple via a sealing interface to a first end of a canistered munition, and(ii) when fluidically coupled to the first end of the canistered munition via the sealing interface, receives the exhaust from the munition when the munition is fired, wherein the sealing interface prevents the exhaust from venting at the sealing interface, and(b) a first uptake structure that (i) is fluidically coupled to the plenum, and(ii) guides the exhaust from the plenum to the atmosphere;wherein each gas management system removably receives the respective canistered munition; andwherein the dimensions of the plenum and of the first uptake structure are based on the dimensions of the respective canistered munition. 11.
