Arming Mechanism for Aerial Target

Abstract The design and development of a turbine-driven mechanical arming mechanism for use in aerial target drones and other defense applications is the main goal of this project. The work's main goal was to develop a completely mechanical arming system that eliminates the dangers of electrical or pyrotechnic devices, like interference, hacking, and accidental activation. The mechanism works on the basis of aerodynamic energy conversion, in which a bucket-type impulse turbine is driven to produce rotational motion by air entering through a pressure valve.

A multi-stage gear reduction system transfers this rotational motion, increasing torque and decreasing speed before powering a lead screw-striker assembly that completes the arming procedure. The turbine and transmission components were analyzed using structural simulations and mechanical calculations, confirming that stresses on all major parts remain within safe limits for the chosen materials. The design exhibited high mechanical reliability, minimal deformation, and efficient power transfer. Overall, the project demonstrates an innovative and tamper-proof arming mechanism that functions solely through mechanical means, ensuring operational safety and reliability in demanding defence and aerospace environments. The concept successfully combines aerodynamic activation with mechanical precision, offering a secure and maintenance-friendly solution for modern unmanned aerial systems.
