ATTACK CAPABILITY ENHANCING BALLISTIC SABOT

摘要

A ballistic sabot for adapting a payload to a launch device is disclosed. The ballistic sabot can include a support structure configured to be releasably coupled to a payload and to operably interface with a launch device. The launch device can be operable to launch the payload and the support structure on a ballistic trajectory. The support structure can be configured to retain and travel with the payload along the ballistic trajectory substantially beyond the launch device prior to release and separation from the payload.

1. A ballistic sabot for adapting a payload to a launch device, comprising:
a support structure having a payload interface configured to be releasably coupled to a payload and a launch device interface to operably interface with a launch device, the launch device being operable to launch the payload and the ballistic sabot on a ballistic trajectory; and a release mechanism that is selectively actuatable to facilitate release and separation of the support structure and the payload from one another, wherein the support structure retains and travels with the payload along the ballistic trajectory substantially beyond the launch device prior to selective actuation of the release mechanism to release and separate the support structure from the payload.
