US12782096 - Munitions packaging system

The patent describes a munitions packaging system featuring interlocking upper and lower portions made from a single polymer material, designed to securely store and protect various types of munitions. It includes cavities formed by indents and optional stacking layers, as well as RFID devices for tracking and providing information about the packaged munitions.

Claim 1

1 . A munitions packaging system, comprising: an upper portion having a first inner surface, a first outer surface, and a plurality of upper portion side surfaces; and a lower portion having a second inner surface, a second outer surface, and a plurality of lower portion side surfaces; one or more interposing stacking layers each having a first thickness and a first perimetral dimension, wherein the first perimetral dimension is substantially the same as a second perimetral dimension of the upper portion and the lower portion; wherein the first inner surface of the upper portion and the second inner surface of the lower portion include a plurality of mating indents complementary to fit together in interlocking manner; wherein the first and second inner surfaces include one or more first indents to form one or more cavities for storage and protection of one or more munitions within the munitions packaging system when the upper portion and lower portion are mated; and wherein the entire munitions packaging system consists of a first single polymer material, wherein each of the one or more interposing stacking layers includes one or more second indents to form the one or more cavities for storage and protection of the one or more munitions within the munitions packaging system when the upper portion, the lower portion, and the one or more interposing stacking layers are mated, wherein each cavity of the one or more cavities has a first section and a second section; wherein the first section and the second section are separated with one or more separators consisting of the single polymer material; wherein each separator of the one or more separators has a second thickness substantially same as the first thickness; wherein the munitions packaging system includes a plurality of groups of securing indents disposed perimetrically around the munitions packaging system symmetrically placed on opposite sides of the munitions packaging system; wherein the one or more munitions is selected from the group consisting of a warhead, a propellant section, a fixed-type munition, a propellant charge, an explosive charge, a sub munition, a guidance kit, and an armed mortar round; wherein each cavity of the one or more cavities has the shape configured to fit each one or more munitions; wherein the upper portion further includes a first RFID device of a plurality of RFID devices; wherein the lower portion further includes a second RFID device of the plurality of RFID devices; wherein the first and second RFID devices are configured to provide a packaging information about the munitions packaging system; and wherein the packaging information includes an open-closed status, a tracking information, a munition information, and a specification of the munition packaging system. an upper portion having a first inner surface, a first outer surface, and a plurality of upper portion side surfaces; and a lower portion having a second inner surface, a second outer surface, and a plurality of lower portion side surfaces; one or more interposing stacking layers each having a first thickness and a first perimetral dimension, wherein the first perimetral dimension is substantially the same as a second perimetral dimension of the upper portion and the lower portion; wherein the first inner surface of the upper portion and the second inner surface of the lower portion include a plurality of mating indents complementary to fit together in interlocking manner; wherein the first and second inner surfaces include one or more first indents to form one or more cavities for storage and protection of one or more munitions within the munitions packaging system when the upper portion and lower portion are mated; and wherein the entire munitions packaging system consists of a first single polymer material, wherein each of the one or more interposing stacking layers includes one or more second indents to form the one or more cavities for storage and protection of the one or more munitions within the munitions packaging system when the upper portion, the lower portion, and the one or more interposing stacking layers are mated, wherein each cavity of the one or more cavities has a first section and a second section; wherein the first section and the second section are separated with one or more separators consisting of the single polymer material; wherein each separator of the one or more separators has a second thickness substantially same as the first thickness; wherein the munitions packaging system includes a plurality of groups of securing indents disposed perimetrically around the munitions packaging system symmetrically placed on opposite sides of the munitions packaging system; wherein the one or more munitions is selected from the group consisting of a warhead, a propellant section, a fixed-type munition, a propellant charge, an explosive charge, a sub munition, a guidance kit, and an armed mortar round; wherein each cavity of the one or more cavities has the shape configured to fit each one or more munitions; wherein the upper portion further includes a first RFID device of a plurality of RFID devices; wherein the lower portion further includes a second RFID device of the plurality of RFID devices; wherein the first and second RFID devices are configured to provide a packaging information about the munitions packaging system; and wherein the packaging information includes an open-closed status, a tracking information, a munition information, and a specification of the munition packaging system.
