ABSTRACT:
A clip-lock cap for protecting saboted projectiles or penetrators. This cap is formed of several independent segments held together by mechanical clips, the latter being designed to be released from the segments and thus allow dispersal of the segments only when the combined penetrator and cap is exposed to high axial acceleration. It will be understood that because the cap separation from the projectile is achieved through mechanical means, the cap segments can be designed to be as rugged as required to meet rough handling loads and environmental requirements without affecting the reliability or repeatability of the discard process and irrespective of segment material, environmental conditions or projectile spin rate.
