The present invention relates to bomb warheads, more particularly, a warhead delivery system that utilizes an efficient delivery system wherein an aircraft, pick-up truck or flat bed trailer is utilized.
The race to build the atomic bomb by third world nations has made news headlines for the past seven (7) years. The next phase of building better bombs has already begun and is focused towards hydrogen bombs.
The first generation of the hydrogen bombs manufactured by the second and third world nations will be made in bulk and have weight incorporated in the design. In addition, terrorists have already begun manufacturing hydrogen bombs by using consumer chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide. However, in order to achieve the highest efficiency, these bombs must be stream-lined for a delivery system.
During the Vietnam war, F-4 and F-14 aircraft were used for combat. However, because the F-4 and F-14 are fast-traveling aircraft, they proved to be poor choices for combat use in Vietnam because they flew over the narrow and long Vietnam terrain too quickly to permit the firing of arms thereupon. In addition, the fighter pilots were cautious of trespassing on the airspace of Vietnam's neighbors.
Thus, it would have been more advantageous to use a slower-moving propeller aircraft, such as a twin-engine Cessna, in such a small area combat zone. However, commercial propeller aircraft are not equipped with artillery.
Companies such as Northrop Grumman have developed propeller aircraft capable for combat use in jungle and other small area combat zones. However, only wealthy countries such as the United States are able to take advantage of such an aircraft, thereby excluding third world countries from purchasing same. However, commercial propeller aircraft without artillery are within the budgetary realm of third world countries.
In addition, vehicles have become popular delivery systems of various weaponry as they tend to oftentimes be overlooked by government and military officials.
Thus, the need exists for a stream-lined warhead delivery system that utilizes an efficient delivery system wherein an aircraft, pick-up truck or flat-bed trailer is utilized.
The relevant prior art includes the following references:
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that utilizes an efficient delivery system, which may be an aircraft, pick-up truck or flat-bed trailer.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that may be manufactured by second and third world nations.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system kit that may be manufactured by terrorists.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that may utilize an atomic bomb explosion as a trigger.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that may utilize at least one decoy.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that may be secured to an underside or fuselage of an aircraft.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that includes the addition of avionics grayboxes which may be controlled within the cockpit of the aircraft.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a warhead delivery system that may be used in conjunction with a moving or stationary pick-up truck or vehicle having a flat-bed trailer.
The present invention fulfills the above and other objects by providing a warhead delivery system that is developed, miniaturized and placed within a delivery system that includes a three (3) or eight (8) door warhead design. Once secured to or located within the delivery system, test equipment is developed so as to test the effectiveness of the hydrogen bomb.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention should become even more readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings wherein there is shown and described illustrative embodiments of the invention.
In the following detailed description, reference will be made to the attached drawings in which:
For purposes of describing the preferred embodiment, the terminology used in reference to the numbered components in the drawings is as follows:
With references to
The nose cone 1 has a substantially planar back surface 15 wherein a lip 14 is located around a perimeter of the back surface 15 to provide an air-tight fit against a delivery system 23 (shown in
Next,
Although the nose cones 1 are shown in a substantially triangular shape, the nose cone 1 may be rectangular, square, circular or any other shape.
In
In the alternative, the bombs 3 may be released using simultaneously delayed fuses having one large explosion of the bombs 3 to provide for a non-airborne bombing. In the event of this non-airborne strike, the driver of the pick-up truck 6 will most likely lose his or her life as the fuses will be short in length so as to create a short time interval between ignition and explosion. Thus, the use of the present invention as a non-airborne attack is a suicide mission which causes maximum destruction as the target area and the pick-up truck 6 containing the terrorists is destroyed.
By utilizing a pick-up truck 6 as the delivery system, terrorists may transport the bombs 3 in full view of the public eye. Although this seems counter-intuitive, it is this strategy that permits a terrorist to travel with deadly weapons. As law enforcement, and even the public at large, deem vans and other large, commercial, covered vehicles with overweight cargo in the rear and lowered shocks suspicious, they will most likely not consider a standard pick-up truck 6 carrying an object in the bed 7 suspicious. Because the multi-hydrogen bomb warhead 5 acts as camouflage to hide the bombs 3 contained within, law enforcement will not focus its suspicions on the pick-up truck 6 and, rather than searching a run-of-the-mill residential pick-up truck 6, law enforcement focuses its efforts on the vehicles conventionally deemed as vehicles for transportation of weapons, such as vans and commercial vehicles.
In
In addition, although the delivery systems 23 of the present invention are shown as an aircraft 19, pick-up truck 6 and flat-bed trailer 21, other delivery systems 23 may be used.
Finally,
The time line for manufacturing the delivery system differs if dealing with a high level, mid-level or low (terrorist) level delivery system for the hydrogen bomb. However, regardless of what level delivery system is used, the process is as follows: 1) develop the bomb, 2) miniaturize the bomb, 3) develop the electro/mechanical warhead delivery system design and 4) develop the test equipment.
With respect to a high level delivery system, the explosion of an atomic bomb will act as a trigger to begin developing and miniaturizing the hydrogen bomb of the present invention. This will take several thousand man-hours.
The miniaturization of the delivery design is foremost as it will enable the delivery system of a missile warhead to be designed similar to the three (3) and eight (8) door warheads depicted in
Finally, the test equipment design can take several thousand man-hours to finalize.
With respect to a mid-level delivery system, the explosion of an atomic bomb is not necessary to trigger the development and miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb. Thus, the miniaturized design may be developed within the same time line as when utilizing a high-level system.
Finally, the low (terrorist) level delivery system is utilized without the actuation of an atomic bomb and can be made from consumer chemicals, such as by separating the hydrogen from a hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition, a non-missile delivery system, such as a mobile delivery system from the bed 7 of a pick-up truck 6, may be used. This delivery system will also use a spring-release ejection and may also include decoys.
All of the above processes may be accomplished with computer aid design software.
It is to be understood that while a certain form of the invention is illustrated, it is not to be limited to the specific form or arrangement of parts herein described and shown. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not be considered limited to what is shown and described in the specification and drawings.
