Design and Construction`Of a Single Impulse Activated Grenade
Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2013, 4(1): 488-491 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Design and Construction of a S ingle Impulse Activated Grenade Don Okpala. V. Uche. Department of Industrial Physics, Anambra State University, Uli, Anambra State, Nigeria _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT A single impulse activated grenade which is powered by an impulse has been designed, constructed and tested. The components used in the construction an d the principles involved have been highlighted in this work. Its operation is electro-mechanically controlled. It was found that the grenade detonated in an impact, thus, it has the shortest detonating time. Keywords: Grenade, Explosives, Detonation and Shock wave. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Modern man has built gigantic bridges to span the seas and gargantuan buildings to kiss the skies but the invention of grenade marked the dawn of a new era in the science and technology world. A grenade, according to standard learners’ English dictionary, is defined as a small bomb thrown by hand. Conventionally, grenades are small explosives or chemical missile used for attacking enemy troops, vehicles or fortified positions at close range. When designed to be thrown by hand they are called hand grenades. The term grenade was originally applied to any explosive shell fired from a gun. Also, grenades when adapted for lunching from riffle or carbine are called riffle grenades. “Grenades” is derived from French word for pomegranate because of resemblance to that fruit of early grenades shape. In later years, grenades were nicknamed “Pineapple” because of the bulbous and rough exterior of the type used in the World War 1, [1].

Forward Operational Assessment . FOA Highlights . NET . FOA User Feedback . Proposed Employment . Capabilities Assessment . Summary . Questions/Comments 2 System Overview . The XM25, Individual Semi-Automatic Airburst System (ISAAS), is a Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) weapon. Delivers a 25mm programmable high explosive airburst (HEAB) round to explode above or adjacent to a target significantly increasing Soldier survivability to defeat defilade targets out to approximately 600 meters. The XM25 includes an integrated, multifunctional, all environment, full-solution, day/night, target acquisition/fire control system. 3 System Overview .The technology provides the Soldier a leap-ahead capability to defeat defilade targets while significantly reducing collateral damage without the use of indirect fire or close air support. The ISAAS has been identified by the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCOE) Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) analysis as the number one materiel approach to mitigate the Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) gap (accurate and lethal engagement of defilade targets at the squad level). 4 XM25 Operation A.
