Torsion Hinges
PRCs
spring hinges were installed along the pivoting edge of the enclosure connecting its two halves, allowing the energy in the springs to be stored while the sabot is in closed configuration. To remain in closed configuration, the sabot was held together by one loop of (dimension) rope, tied around.
Deployment is achieved when a team-built PRC (Pyrotechnic Rope Cutter) installed by the loop of rope activates and cuts the rope, releasing the torsion sprinRope
