ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Remote controlled systems for dispensing of items from a storage enclosure is already generally known in the art. Various problems are associated with such systems, which are avoided by the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a computer signal is generated to power an electronic firing circuit once a target has been identified. Such firing signal is received through a radio frequency link to generate an electrical pulse transferred by a cable to impulse cartridges associated with payload storing assemblies in a dispenser for explosive ignition to eject the payloads from the bottom of tubes, otherwise closed by retention end caps, in response to expanding ballistic gases. The payloads are thereby propelled at a velocity sufficient to clear adjacent structure such as wings or landing gear on aircraft carrying the payload dispenser.
