ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a system and method for ejecting munitions from carrier weapon housings through the inflation of inflatable bags, without imparting excessive acceleration loads to the munitions. The current invention combines the features of a ballistically tailored propellant grain with control nozzles to provide hot gases to an inflatable bladder in a fashion that permits control and tailoring of the acceleration pulse.
