MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521110476 A) filed by Dr. Milind Bokade, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 12, 2025, for 'telescopically extendable standoff mechanism integrated in multirole penetration-cum-fragmentation submunition for enhanced penetration and stability.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Milind Bokade.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A multirole penetration-cum-fragmentation submunition incorporating a passively actuated, telescopically extendable and lockable standoff assembly integrated with a shaped-charge liner is disclosed. The extendable standoff increases the effective separation between the liner and a struck surface at the moment of initiation, thereby improving shaped-charge jet coherence and terminal penetration while the integrated passive aerodynamic features reduce undesirable rotational motion and improve impact orientation and fuze reliability. The invention is modular and retrofit-compatible with common cargo warhead dispensers and other delivery platforms, offering enhanced penetration performance, improved terminal reliability and a reduced incidence of unexploded ordnance relative to comparable fixed-standoff submunitions."
