- the igniter 10 Upon transmission of an ignition signal, the igniter 10 is ignited at the determined time and the projectile 2 releases its active agent 4. At about the same time, the projectile 2 simultaneously destroys itself and breaks down into small fragments of low residual energy.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein nicht letales, programmier- bzw. tempierbares Geschoss mit nichtletalen Wirkmitteln, welches von einem Waffensystem verschossen, im Ziel seine Wirkmittel abgibt, selbst aber auch eine nicht letale Wirkung besitzt.The invention relates to a non-lethal, programmable or malleable projectile with non-lethal agents, which is fired by a weapon system, emits its agents in the target, but also has a non-lethal effect.
Nicht letale Munitionen bzw. Geschosse finden u. a. Anwendung zum Schutz gegen Bedrohung von Schiffen im Hafenbereich, beispielsweise durch Schnellboote, durch Scharfschützen in Gebäuden oder dergleichen, sowie durch gewaltbereite Menschenmengen. In diesen Szenarien ist die Erkennung der Gefahr erschwert bzw. der Einsatz konventioneller Waffen führt zu nicht gewollten Schäden.Non-lethal ammunition or projectiles find u. a. Application for protection against threats to ships in the port area, for example by speed boats, by snipers in buildings or the like, as well as by violent crowds. In these scenarios, the recognition of the danger is more difficult or the use of conventional weapons leads to unwanted damage.
Bekannt sind nicht letale Geschosse, die mittels Hochleistungspulsen zielgerichtet ein Zerstören der Elektronik eines Zieles bewirken. Sie können aber auch durch Stören oder durch Blenden die Funktion des Zieles beeinträchtigen.Non-lethal projectiles are known which purposefully destroy the electronics of a target by means of high-power pulses. But you can also interfere with the function of the target by disturbing or blinding.
Eine andere Gattung der nicht letalen Munition enthält nicht letale Wirkmittel, wie beispielsweise Farbe, chemische Reizstoffe, Nebel oder auch Einrichtungen mit Blitz- und Knalleffekten. Sie zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie mit Hilfe einer herkömmlichen Waffenanlage verschossen werden kann.Another type of non-lethal ammunition contains non-lethal agents, such as color, chemical irritants, fog or even devices with lightning and blast effects. It is characterized by the fact that it can be fired with the help of a conventional weapon system.
Problem dieser nicht letalen Geschosse ist, dass sie selbst voll umsetzbar sein müssen, damit nicht durch Vorhandensein von Geschossteilen die Nichtletalität der Wirkmittel ausgehoben wird. Dies betrifft auch die Problematik der Programmierung des Geschosszünders.The problem with these non-lethal bullets is that they themselves must be fully implementable so that the non-lethality of the active ingredients is not removed by the presence of bullets. This also concerns the problem of programming the projectile fuze.
In der
Bekannt ist der Einsatz einer Empfängerspule für einen programmierbaren konventionellen Geschosszünder, welche beispielsweise in der
Hier greift die Erfindung die Aufgabe auf, eine Lösung vorzusehen, die die Schaffung eines voll umsetzbaren Geschosses ermöglicht.Here, the invention addresses the problem of providing a solution that allows the creation of a fully implementable projectile.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.
Zur weiteren Schaffung der Nichtletalität des Geschosses ist vorgesehen, die bekannte Empfängerspule durch ein anderes Übertragungssystem zu ersetzen, welches selbst zerlegbar ist. Als Übertragungssystem zur Übertragung des Zündzeitpunkts wird die Übertragung mittels elektromagnetischer Wellen im Radarbereich genutzt. Das Signal ist dabei im radarfrequenten Bereich angesiedelt, um die Bestimmung der Geschossgeschwindigkeit zu ermöglichen. Die Geschwindigkeitsbestimmung wird vorzugsweise unter Ausnutzung des bekannten Doppler ―Effekts durchgeführt. Die Übertragung des Zündsignals erfolgt im Zielgebiet. Als ein relevantes Mittel bieten sich Folienchips oder ein RFID Chip an (Radio Frequenz Identifikation) (siehe http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID). Letztgenannter besitzt den Vorteil, dass die notwendige Energie zur Versorgung der Logik und des Zünders nach Geschossaustritt aus einem Rohr mittels Mikrowellen eingekoppelt werden kann.To further create the Nichtletalität the projectile is provided to replace the known receiver coil with another transmission system, which is itself dismantled. As a transmission system for transmitting the ignition timing, the transmission by means of electromagnetic waves in the radar range is used. The signal is located in the radar frequency range to allow the determination of the projectile velocity. The speed determination is preferably carried out using the known Doppler effect. The transmission of the ignition signal takes place in the target area. Film chips or an RFID chip (Radio Frequency Identification) (see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID ) can be used as a relevant tool. The latter has the advantage that the energy required to supply the logic and the detonator after projectile discharge from a pipe can be coupled by means of microwaves.
Der Chip ist in seinen Abmaßen derart klein, dass die Zerlegung des Geschosses in kleine Fragmente mit geringer Restenergie, diese selbst vor Ort keine letale Wirkung besitzen.The size of the chip is so small that the fragmentation of the projectile into small fragments with little residual energy, even on site, has no lethal effect.
Durch den Einsatz derartiger Komponenten kann auf eine Empfängerspule verzichtet werden.Through the use of such components can be dispensed with a receiver coil.
Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail.
Es zeigt skizzenartig die einzige Figur ein Waffensystem 1, welches ein nicht letales Geschoss 2 durch Verschießen in ein Ziel 3 verbringt. Das Geschoss 2 besitzt neben nicht letalen Wirkmitteln 4 einen Chip 5, welcher eine herkömmliche Empfängerspule in ihrer Funktion ersetzt. Das Geschoss 2 erhält am Anfang oder während des Fluges Signale vom Waffensystem 1, beispielsweise durch einen Mikrowellensender 6, der mit einem Feuerleitrechner 7 funktional verbunden ist. Ein im Geschoss 2 befindlicher Timer 8 wird durch den Chip 5 mit der notwendigen Zeitinformation auch vor Ort versorgt. Der Chip 5 ist mit einer Auswerteeinheit 9 verschaltet, wenn diese beispielsweise für eine Korrektur des Zündzeitpunktes im Geschoss 2 vorgesehen ist. Diese ist ebenfalls mit dem Timer 8 verbunden. Dem Timer 8 funktional nachgeschaltet ist ein Zünder 10.It shows in sketch form the only figure a weapon system 1, which spends a
Mit Übertragung eines Zündsignals wird der Zünder 10 zum ermittelten Zeitpunkt gezündet und das Geschoss 2 gibt sein Wirkmittel 4 frei. In etwa zeitgleich zerstört sich das Geschoss 2 gleichzeitig selbst und zerlegt sich in kleine Fragmente geringer Restenergie.Upon transmission of an ignition signal, the
Durch Wegfall der herkömmlichen Empfängerspule wird eine Nichtletalität des Geschosses 2 selbst im Ziel 3 sichergestellt.By eliminating the conventional receiver coil non-mortality of the
