Experimental study on submunition dispenser with airbag and nitrogen generant

An experiment on a submunition dispenser with airbag and nitrogen generant was presented. The experiment includes three interrelated subjects. The first is about relation among dispensing velocity of submunitions, pressure in airbag and charge of nitrogen generant. The second is to investigate the effect of warhead architecture strength and airbag strength on the dispensing velocity. The third is to study the timing and sequencing dispensing with multi compartments. Some regular patterns were acquired. The results show that the project of the dispenser using airbag with nitrogen generant is technically feasible, and it has lower peak pressure and smaller dispensing overload than those of the dispensers with gun propellant.
