Weapon interceptor projectile with deployable frame and net
Abstract:
A weapon interceptor projectile has a deployable frame for maintaining a deployable net in shape. The deployable frame may be an inflatable structure, including a flexible material inflated by a gas generator. The inflatable structure has a perimeter that supports an outside shape of the net, and a series of spokes or arms that couple the perimeter to a body of the projectile. The perimeter may have an airfoil cross-section shape, reducing drag of the frame and aiding in deployment. The perimeter may be have a circular shape, giving the net a circular area. The deployable frame allows the net to maintain its shape during flight, increasing its area and its ability to come into contact with an incoming weapon, such as a rocket propelled grenade (RPG).
