LAWAREC ExPal Module

The LAWAREC ExPal is an External Smoke Grenade Launcher Controller, which was developed as an optional accessory for the system of detection and identification of radar and laser irradiation LAWAREC.

USE AND DESCRIPTION:

The ExPal Module was developed as an optional accessory for the system of detection and identification of radar and laser irradiation LAWAREC.

It is designed for the applications where Control Unit and Smoke Grenade Launchers are located on the mutually moving parts of the platform. For example, Control Unit is located on the chassis and Smoke Grenades Lunchers on the turret. In this case, the lunchers are not connected to the control unit directly but through the module, which is located in its vicinity. Using the ExPal module greatly simplifies the implementation of the system to platforms containing stationary (chassis) and moving part (turret).

A typical example of the use is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle or Tank where the Smoke Grenade Launchers are located on the moving part (turret) and the Control Unit with the detection modules are located on the stationary part (chassis).

Without the use of the ExPal module, it is neccasary to wire the individual lunchers (usually 8 pcs) though the Slip Rings, which must be rated for a minimum load current 3A. Such a solution typically represents a significant technical problems. The implementation of LAWAREC using ExPal module needs only two Slip Rings for low load current (100mA), making it considerably easier.

The ExPal module needs for its operation 24V/6A power supply (assuming that the power feed line is a standard feature of the moving part) plus one pair for the operating of module by neural network.

Simultaneously, ExPal module preserve the utmost security requirements against unwanted, uncontrolled firing of smoke grenades. The implemented system of triple securing provides the elimination of incidents (accidents of crew or operator caused by uncontrolled firing of grenades).

ExPal module can be supplied in two versions, with the trailer jack located on a narrow or broad side.
