Module to prevent sympathetic detonations in munitions

An explosive unit storage means comprising:

• a plurality of storage cells for storing explosive units therein;
• at least one frangible sympathetic detonation prevention means positioned between at last two of said plurality of storage cells,
• whereby the pressure wave generated by a detonation of an explosive unit contained within said storage cells will be reduced in kinetic energy upon passing through said sympathetic detonation prevention means and thereby will lack sufficient energy to detonate any adjacently located explosive, wherein the detonation prevention means comprises at least one carrier element extending across the opening between explosive units and an energy absorption means supported by the said carrier element.

An explosive unit storage means comprising:

• at least one explosive unit storage cell, said cell being box-shaped having four walls;
• at least one rectangular frangible sympathetic detonation prevention means being located on one of the four walls of said cell, wherein the detonation prevention means comprises at least one carrier element extending across the opening between explosive units and an energy absorption means supported by the said carrier element.

An explosive unit storage means comprising:

• at least one explosive unit storage cell, said cell being box-shaped having four walls;
• at least one L-shaped frangible sympathetic detonation prevention means being located at the juncture of two of the four walls of said at least one storage cell.

A frangible sympathetic detonation prevention means comprising:

• an energy absorption means insertable between adjacently stored explosive units, said absorption means allowing at least part of the pressure wave generated by the detonation of any explosive unit to pass therethrough.
