ABSTRACT:
A separable nose fairing assembly includes a forward, massive portion slidably coupled to a rearward, light portion. Forward sliding movement of the massive portion relative to the light portion is limited by a stop. An explosive actuator is operable to drive the forward portion forwardly until it reaches the stop, whereupon the momentum transferred to the rearward portion is sufficient to pull it off the missile. Due to the high ballistic coefficient of the assembly it follows a ballistic trajectory different from that of the missile, thus minimizing the possibility of damage to the missile.
