Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a shot and warhead which are improved in flying target intercepting power by providing a bursting charge having instantaneous explo sion power and a means for initiating the bursting charge. SOLUTION: When an interceptor missile provided with a warhead approaches an anti-ground missile, etc., a bursting charge 11 for projecting is ignited by controlling a fuse. The high-pressure gas which is generated by the explosion of the bursting charge 11 (and projectile powder 12) bursts an outer pipe 15 and, at the same time, radially projects shots 13. The shots 13 come into collision with an anti-ground missile, etc., and penetrate into the missile, etc. When shots 13 penetrate into the missile, the percussion mechanism sections 22 of the shots 13 are actuated and the bursting charges 23 of the shots are ignited. Consequently, the shots 13 explore in the missile, etc. When at least one shot 13 hits the warhead of the anti-ground missile, etc., the warhead can be broken easily, but the number of the shots 13 governs the possibility of breaking the warhead. The optimum number of the shots 13 is decided on the basis of the guiding accuracy of the interceptor missile, the size of target, the relative speed between the interceptor missile and target, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a warhead mounted on an interceptor missile for destroying a target having a highly resistant warhead, such as a ground missile, a ground rocket, a bomb, and the like, and to be mounted on the warhead. About bullets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Ground missiles, ground rockets, bombs, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "ground missiles, etc.") have high resistance to warheads. Function is likely to remain. Therefore, in order to suppress or neutralize the destructive force of a ground missile or the like, it is most desirable to destroy the warhead during flight, and various intercepting missiles have been developed from such a demand.

In order to destroy an in-flight missile or the like by an interceptor missile, the strike accuracy of the interceptor missile is improved or a direct hit or a fragment type warhead using a high-precision proximity fuze is used. There are either methods.

However, the former method requires a highly accurate guidance control system in order to guide the interceptor missile to a range in which it can be hit directly (radius of several tens of cm). This raises the cost of the system, which is a significant disadvantage in terms of cost effectiveness.

On the other hand, in order to obtain a sufficient breaking force by the latter method, it is necessary to increase the mass per piece. However, the weight of the interceptor missile is limited, so increasing the mass of the debris will have to reduce the number of debris, thus reducing the hit rate.

[0006]

As described above, conventionally, in order to intercept a flying target, the accuracy of guiding the missile for interception has to be improved, which has resulted in an increase in cost. In addition, when using a shard type warhead, the destructive power and the hit rate were in an opposite relationship to each other, and the intercept ability was at a peak.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
The objective is to provide a low cost, low cost ammunition and warhead with increased interception of the target in flight.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a bullet having explosive power, which is mounted on a warhead of a flying object and released into space when approaching an intercepting target. It is characterized by comprising a medicine and an initiating means for initiating the medicine. The detonation means detects the penetration of a bullet into the intercepting target, and detonates the drug within the intercepting target. Alternatively, the pump is detonated after a predetermined time has elapsed since the bullet was released from the warhead.

[0009] By taking such measures, the ammunition powder is detonated inside the intercepting target, and the intercepting target is destroyed with its explosive power. This makes it possible to reliably destroy the intercepting target without directly hitting it with the intercepting missile. Therefore, there is no need to unnecessarily increase the accuracy of the missile guidance system, and the cost can be reduced.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a warhead and a bullet according to the present invention. That is, this warhead is
As shown in the cross-sectional view of (a), a release flocculant 11 with detonation is disposed at the center of the cross-section, and a release drug 12 is disposed concentrically therearound. As the release agent 12, a combustion agent or a propellant is used. In addition, the release drug 11 and the release drug 12 are filled in appropriate containers (not shown) for shape retention or the like. Further outwardly of the release agent 12, radially arranged bullets 13 are provided, and a gap between the bullets 13 is filled with a filler 14 such as a resin for fixing the position. An outer cylinder 15 is provided on the outermost periphery of the warhead to maintain the entire shape.
Is provided. The outer cylinder 15 serves as a structural member when the warhead is incorporated into a missile or other flying object.

Here, the bullet 13 has a structure shown in FIG. In other words, the projectile 13 is provided in a solid shell 21 which is easy to penetrate the target, into the starting mechanism 22 and the drug 2
3 is built in.

The firing mechanism section 22 controls the ignition timing of the fender 23 by detecting, for example, a change in the direction of G (acceleration), and after the bullet 13 has been released and penetrated into the target. It ignites the drug 23.

The drug 23 of the bullet 13 does not need to be the same as the release drug 11 loaded at the center of the warhead, and any drug can be used as long as it involves detonation.

Next, the operation of the above-described warhead will be described. When the interceptor missile provided with the warhead approaches a ground missile or the like, the discharge fume 11 is ignited under the control of a fuse (not shown). The high-pressure gas generated by the explosion of the release drug 11 (and the release drug 12)
Is exploded and the bullet 13 is radially released. When the bullet 13 is released, the bullet 13 does not explode under the control of the landing mechanism 22.

The bullet 13 eventually collides with a ground missile or the like and penetrates the inside thereof.
Is activated, and the drug 23 of the bullet 13 is ignited. This causes the bullet 13 to explode inside the ground missile or the like. At this time, if at least one bullet 13 hits a warhead such as a ground missile, the warhead can be easily destroyed, but this depends largely on the number of bullets 13. Bullet 1
The optimum number of three can be determined in consideration of the accuracy of guidance of the interceptor missile, the target size, the relative speed of each other, and the like.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the munitions 1 loaded with the filing agent 23 are set with respect to the intercepting target (such as a ground missile).
In the state where the bullet 3 was released and the bullet 13 penetrated the intercepting target, the launching mechanism 22 was used to detonate the drug 23.

With this configuration, it is possible to reliably destroy the target from the inside of the opposing warhead without directly hitting the intercepting target. As a result, there is no need to unnecessarily increase the accuracy of the guidance system, and cost reduction can be achieved. Further, since the destruction is performed not by the direct hit of the warhead fragments but by the explosive force of the filing agent 23, the destructive power is further increased. Furthermore, a large part of the bullet 13 is made of a lightweight drug 23.
Occupies a smaller weight than the conventional shard type warhead, and as a result, the number of bullets 13 that can be mounted can be increased,
This can also increase the interception ability.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

For example, although FIG. 1 shows a concentric structure,
If they are arranged in this order from the center, the release drug 11, the release drug 12, the armature 13, and the outer cylinder 15, the concentric shape is not necessary. In addition, the release agent 12 burns /
Explosives may be presented. In addition, instead of the release drug 11 and the release drug 12, a compressed gas contained in an enclosure may be used.

In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0021]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the ammunition discharged into the space when approaching the intercepting target is loaded with the excavator and the explosive is detonated inside the intercepting target.
An ammunition and a warhead with an improved intercepting ability of a target during flight can be provided at low cost.
