DE1578075B - Warhead for roll-free stabilized missiles - Google Patents

Description

insulation practically kept to a maximum. In addition, through the training of condemnation in the splinter-free zones as a chemical substance, e.g. B. in the form of incendiary devices, the combat effect is increased in some ways. It can also be through the use of another Explosives for thickening, · d. H. for the splinters arranged thereon and for the shaped charge as well as optimal explosive charge conditions are created for the splinters. Through the two lateral splinter coats extending more downwards in connection with the very slight rolling of the missile creates a relatively wide battlefield on either side of the The trajectory and also the target area immediately overflown with a sufficient density of fragments, so that armored vehicles accompanying infantry or operating crews scattered around automatic gun emplacements or columns of mixed formations on the march can be effectively fought.

In the figures, various exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown and on the basis of the following Description explained in more detail. All parts not directly related to the subject matter of the invention a warhead or the missile are not shown for reasons of clarity. Parts that correspond to one another in the figures are given the same reference symbols. It indicates

FIG. 4 shows a combination warhead in a representation similar to FIG. 1, in which the splinters are arranged on an annular thickening of the explosive charge,

F i g. 5 and 6 in an enlarged detail of the FIG. 4 explosive charge shown two other forms of training the annular thickening.

In Fig. 1 are with 1 the warhead cover, with 2 the hood of the warhead and with 3 on known head fuze called. The hood and shell of the warhead can be made of thin-walled Sheet metal or made of plastic. As can be seen from the figure, the Inside the warhead a compared to the diameter of the warhead casing in its diameter significantly smaller explosive charge 5, which has a shaped charge occupancy 6 at its front end. A known detonator, preferably a safety detonator, is denoted by 4.

The explosive charge 5 is partially surrounded by a jacket consisting of spherical fragments 7, as shown in FIG. 2 can be seen, in two zones to the side of the explosive charge 5, with essentially downward direction of action. Weight and arrangement of the hollow explosive charge and the Splinter jacket are coordinated so that the weight and the center of gravity of the warhead the weight and the center of gravity of a pure shaped charge warhead without additional Splinter effect corresponds.

The direction of action of the sheaf formed from the splinters 7 is shown in Fi g. 2 by arrows 8 and 9 marked. As can be seen, the result is a sheaf with an essentially downwardly sloping sheave Direction of action. However, the sheaf also extends a little upwards for light rolling or pendulum motion of the missile around its longitudinal axis to be able to reliably capture the target field with splinters. Immediately under your warhead there are no ίο splinters, because here are the ones to be expected low altitudes above ground, the detonation pressure of the cargo and that formed from the envelope Splinters are sufficient for a certain destructive effect of so-called soft targets.

It has been found in one of FIGS. 2 apparent arrangement of the splitter shows that the penetration performance the shaped charge is considerably worsened by this non-rotationally symmetrical dam will. This deterioration in effect can under certain conditions by appropriate Changes in the explosive charge are compensated, however, such measures are extensive Development work and tests connected. The invention avoids those outlined above Disadvantages in that the spaces between the splinters 7 with additional damming layers 11 filled in from a specifically light material. This allows the Damming effect of the splinter occupancy in simpler Compensate sufficiently.

In Fig. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a warhead constructed according to the invention, in which, instead of a dam the in F i g. 2 the type shown by splitter 7 unoccupied zones of the explosive charge 5 with incendiary or Tubes or fire bodies 10 containing smoke masses are filled.

Such fire bodies 10 are generally much larger than the actual splinters 7 for fighting softer goals. They have a lower penetration power, but what is more suitable for their task is conducive. The incendiary bodies located in the area above the explosive charge also fall back to earth after detonation of the charge and still have the desired ignition effect.

The incinerator, which is larger in volume, has a lower specific weight than the fragments 7, because the fire mass is lighter than this and are dimensioned so that the damming effect per unit area is the same as that of the splinters 7.

The fire bodies 10 can, in a manner known per se, from the detonation of the explosive charge ignited substances exist, for example thermite-like masses in magnesium tubular housings can be used. Mixtures using phosphorus are also possible. the The shape of the fire body can be chosen to be spherical, but also elongated as cylindrical rods. The invention is not limited to the arrangement of fire bodies, but in bodies with others can also be used as additional damming layers in an equally advantageous manner chemical active substances be arranged.

The splinters 7 and fire or similar body 10 can be embedded in synthetic resin, with the setting the damming effect can be mixed with additives to the plastic.

Warhead for roll-free stabilized flight length of the fragmentation jacket considered; with to the rear bodies are designed with a forwardly directed hollow 5 increasing diameter, so dung and with a splinter jacket to achieve that splinters not only in the radial direction, but A combined splinter and hollow load can also be thrown towards the front. Cancellation effect, with simultaneous control of this is according to U.S. Patent 3,224,372 so-called soft targets and armored vehicles - fragmentation warhead system known in its detogen or armored stationary objects, d a - ion nation not only sheaves of splinters in the radial direction, characterized in that preformed but at the same time obliquely forward and backward Splinters (7) are thrown off in two zones on either side of the rear. Explosive charge (5) or on an annular case of the known warheads for guided flight thickening (5α) with an essentially inclined body are the splinter deficiencies because of the twisting movement down or down as well as forward 15 movement that the missile expands during flight. and arranged in the direction of action at the rear, arranged around the warhead to im net and the target area between the splinter mantles is definitely an immediate splinter end Zones to be reached by an additional damming effect downwards. However, this has shifts are occupied which, in their specific form, result in the simultaneous disadvantageous circumstance, Damming effect about the same as the dam- 20 that most splinters go up with only little effect of the fragmentation jackets. Effect on the target area. 2. warhead according to claim 1, characterized in that the much larger part of the fragment-forming shell indicates that as additional damming is therefore only carried as ballast,

Warhead according to claim 1, characterized by roll-free stabilized guided missile a combat character, that the annular thickening head to create both for combating ge (5 a) is suitable from an explosive with other detonator armor as well as soft targets and tion speed exists as it is the blasting itself through a relatively maximum dimension of the has substance of the rest of the explosive charge. 30 shaped charge and optimal use and effect of its Splitter occupancy distinguishes. The object is achieved according to the invention there- by that preformed splinters in two zones too both sides of the explosive charge or on a ring 35-shaped thickening with essentially downward or pointing downwards and forwards and backwards The invention relates to a warhead of the direction of action are arranged and the between for roll-free stabilized missiles with a zone lying after the fragmentation jackets through front-facing shaped charge and are covered with additional insulation layers, which are in SpHttermantel to achieve a combined 40 of their specific containment effect about the same Splinter and shaped charge effect with simultaneous the damming effect of the splinter jackets are. Combating so-called soft targets and in an embodiment of the invention is further provided Armored vehicles or armored stationary objects as additional insulation layers th. Body with an active chemical substance, e.g. B. It is already known to provide guided missiles with a fire body. Shaped charge warhead for anti-tank combat is also proposed within the scope of the invention. The use of such an expensive car, the ring-shaped thickening from a blasting system lies in an acceptable ratio with a different detonation speed to the value of the goal. Guided missiles with hollow holes, as they are the explosives of the other explosive charge warheads are in addition to the 50 manure. Combat tanks but also occasionally for the roll-free stabilization of the guided missiles Combat other targets, such as bunkers, artillery - their longitudinal axis is known to be carried out by built-in Positions, machine gun nests, etc., can be used. Gyroscopic devices, the ones for the stabilization system For this and for the simultaneous control of the disturbance variable required in the form of rashes named soft targets, e.g. operating crews - only 55 one and the other circumferential direction ten, in the vicinity of the angular degree to be achieved by means of the shaped charge. fighting object are known warheads, by the inventive savings of whose shell is made of thick-walled steel or splinters, it is possible to determine the relationship between hollow dies additional detachable splinter jackets for the cargo size and splinter weight cheaper than before have actual warhead hull. To be interpreted by this 60, insofar as at a relatively maximum In addition to the shaped charge effect, the measure should optimally reduce the splintering effect which is directed against the armored object, d. H. most of the installed splitters is switched, fragmentation effects to combat the so-called immediately, namely with detonation soft goals to be achieved. Brought to the target area at this speed. Through this Correlation is, for example, according to the French measure, the degree of effectiveness of what is seen Patent specification 1 228 247 a warhead with a fencing head is improved overall. Also one will be the same forward-facing shaped charge and at the same time the power of the shaped charge due to its circular splinter-generating Known warhead cover. in order to achieve at least substantially uniform
