ABSTRACT:
Conventional cannon and tank cannon frequently incorporate a muzzle brake device in order to reduce weapon recoil. Recently tank cannon have acquired the need to eject and disperse infrared (IR) signature masking aerosols, even when the weapon is muzzle brake equipped. The incorporation of an aerosol dispersal feature into a cannon is accomplished by the addition of metallic vortex generators, comprising blades or teeth that extend into the blast stream, to the muzzle brake.
