Abstract

In order to mark the point of impact of a projectile (10, 11) on a target, it is provided that a container (3) be incorporated in the outer region of the projectile (10, 11) which contains a means for marking the target. The container (3) is broken upon impact of the projectile (10, 11) on the target, so that the means for marking over in the ogive (4) or in the rear area introduced holes (2) can emerge. So that it can escape in this form, an overpressure is generated in the projectile (10, 11). This can be realized by a gas cartridge (7) with triggering mechanism (8) or a reciprocating piston (9).

Description

The The invention relates to a target ammunition, in particular for Mortar and artillery.

Especially during exercises in fire-prone areas through known practice munitions with target mark pyrotechnic base (hot burning particles) or at live ammunition, such as HE, fog and light ammunition, the risk of inflammation and associated fires, especially ground fires. Here also plays the so-called Forest fire danger in the area plays a big role.

to Carrying out exercises in such areas Inert projectiles are used without terminal effect. This is especially during target exercises with observers in the target area problematic, since the point of impact / meeting point of the projectile is not or difficult to localize. Feedback the observer to the shooting team to the direction of Weapon system is thus difficult.

From the DE 10 2005 053 A1 is a bullet with mark the impact point known. The practice floor has a hollow ogive in the head area, in which a first chemically inactive and a second chemically active marker are taken. The first marker produces a color effect, the second marker a light effect. The ogive itself must burst.

Here The object of the invention is to provide an ammunition at the point of impact by a temporary visual marker marked the impact point in a simple way.

Solved The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous Embodiments are included in the subclaims.

The invention is based on the idea, for marking the point of impact of a projectile on a target in the outer region of the projectile, a container ( 3 ), which includes means for marking the target. The container is broken upon impact of the projectile on the target, so that the means for marking can emerge via holes introduced in the ogive or in the tail section. In order that it can escape in this form, an overpressure is generated in the projectile, which is realized by a gas cartridge with a triggering mechanism or a reciprocating piston or the like.

in the Projectile body is thus a piston and / or a gas cartridge integrated, through which at the impact of the projectile an internal pressure constructed and a preferably luminescent liquid over Drilling is applied. This liquid draws characterized in that these for day and night targeting can be used.

Of the The reciprocating piston is either a gas cartridge or mechanical by a preferably defined deformation of the projectile body axially displaced to build up the internal pressure. The gas cartridge is thereby pierced by a trigger mechanism, which in turn when striking the bullet directly or via a detonator is triggered. The destroyed fluid container Gives the fluid over holes in the ogive or in the tail section to mark free. The application of the preferably luminescent Mass is carried out without pyrotechnic means or decomposition of the projectile body with splintering. The defined deformation for the reciprocating piston can through the front side of the bullet embedded detonator be created.

The Advantages are u. a. in that there is no danger of fire and a good visibility of the coronary impact point on the Day and night is created without a color mark and a lighting effect must be generated. Furthermore is a splintering of the Ogive not necessary. The projectiles have a simple and safe handling and have a ballistic equality up to existing storeys.

Based an embodiment with drawing, the invention be explained in more detail. It shows:

1 a projectile with gas cartridge in the section,

2 a projectile with reciprocating pistons on average.

In 1 is a projectile 10 , here an exercise mortar, with a gas cartridge 7 with a trigger mechanism 8th for the gas cartridge 7 slightly stylized on average. With 1 An igniter is marked with 2 at least one, preferably a plurality of holes, with 3 a container, here a fluid container containing a fluid. The latter is provided by an overall system that protects the overall system 4 enclosed, which furthermore an inert mass 5 includes. This serves to ensure ballistic equality. In the rear 6 are, as in a mortar shell known, various holes through which the propellant charge, not shown, is ignited.

The holes 2 are preferably symmetrically spaced from each other at the periphery of the ogive 4 or integrated in the rear area.

2 shows another floor 11 , also an exercise mortar, which instead of the gas cartridge 7 with trigger mechanism 8th a reciprocating piston 9 having. The function is as follows:
Upon impact of the projectile 10 respectively. 11 becomes the gas cartridge by the impact pulse 7 through the triggering mechanism 8th pierced or the reciprocating piston 9 set in motion. Due to the overpressure inside the bullet 10 . 11 becomes the fluid container 3 destroyed. The therein preferably luminescent fluid mixes when exiting through the holes 2 from the ogive 4 , Through this process, the target mark in the target area becomes practically coincident with the impact of the bullet 10 . 11 triggered and displayed visually for an observer, not shown.

To support the function of the gas cartridge 7 or the reciprocating piston 9 is frontally in the ogive 4 the detonator involved.
