High Velocity Underwater Jet Weapon
ABSTRACT
An assembly, a system and a method of use for producing a pulsed jet used to carry a high velocity jet of fluid through
water. The energy of this jet is to be used as a weapon against undersea targets. The assembly includes a pressure chamber,
a manifold, and a nozzle. In use, the pressure chamber is filled with fluid and a pressure is generated within the chamber by
injecting and igniting fuel adjacent the fluid thereby forcing the fluid out the nozzle. The forced fluid is directed to create a
high velocity jet of fluid. The fuel can be ignited repeatedly to produce follow-on jets, each impacting the preceding high
velocity jet.
