Abstract

Die Geschoßanordnung für eine Rohrwaffe weist mehrere gemeinschaftlich aus einem segmentierten Treibkäfig zu verschießende unterkalibrige Fluggeschosse 11, 12 und 13 auf, welche zum Hintereinanderflug mit vorgebbaren Abständen E1 und E2 auf einer Flugbahn T durch einen Draht 45, 46 miteinander verbunden sind. Das vorausfliegende Fluggeschoß 11 deaktiviert beim Auftreffen auf einen Bereich 54 eines aktiv gepanzerten Zieles 50 eine Ladung, so daß die nachfolgenden Fiuggeschosse 12 und 13 ohne zielseitige Störung wirksam werden können.The projectile arrangement for a barrel weapon has a plurality of sub-caliber missiles 11, 12 and 13 to be jointly fired from a segmented sabot, which are connected to one another by a wire 45, 46 at a predeterminable distance E1 and E2 on a trajectory T. The flying floor 11 in front deactivates a charge when it strikes an area 54 of an actively armored target 50, so that the subsequent flying floors 12 and 13 can become effective without any interference from the target.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschoßanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a floor arrangement according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Ein Gegenstand der vorgenannten Gattung ist bekannt aus der US-PS 3 665 861. Dabei ist beabsichtigt, mit einem einzigen Schuß eine möglichst große zielseitige Schadfläche zu verwirklichen.An object of the aforementioned type is known from US Pat. No. 3,665,861. The intention is to achieve the largest possible damage area on the target side with a single shot.

Neuartige Panzerungen aufweisende Ziele, vor allem solche, bei denen beim Auftreffen eines Projektils mittels einer jeweiligen Sprengladung eine außenliegende Panzerplatte beschleunigt wird, um das betreffende Projektil weitgehend wirkungslos zu machen, erfordern entsprechende komplexe Mittel zu ihrer Bekämpfung. Dabei kommt es darauf an, zunächst die Beschleunigungsladung zu deaktivieren und damit für die weitere Bekämpfung in dem betreffenden Zielbereich unschädlich zu machen.Targets exhibiting new types of armor, especially those in which an external armor plate is accelerated when a projectile is hit by a respective explosive charge in order to render the projectile in question largely ineffective, require correspondingly complex means of combating them. It is important to first deactivate the acceleration charge and thus make it harmless for further combat in the target area concerned.

Vorzugsweise soll dann auf den nämlichen Zielbereich weiter eingewirkt werden, in welchem nicht mehr mit einer Störung der vorgenannten Art gerechnet zu werden braucht. Mit einer Geschoßanordnung der vorbeschriebenen Ausführung läßt sich dies nachteiligerweise nicht verwirklichen, da infolge der Streuung mit einem ersten Schuß bestenfalls mehrere Zielbereiche im vorgenannten Sinne deaktiviert werden können, so daß es eines zweiten Schusses bedarf, dessen Auftreffbereich jedoch mit demjenigen des voraufgegangenen weitestgehend identisch sein muß. Dies ist selbst bei einem unbeweglichen, gepanzerten Ziel erfahrungsgemäß unwahrscheinlich.It is then preferable to continue to act on the same target area, in which a disturbance of the aforementioned type is no longer to be expected. With a storey arrangement of the above-described design, this cannot be achieved disadvantageously, since, as a result of the scatter with a first shot, at best several target areas can be deactivated in the aforementioned sense, so that a second shot is required, the area of impact of which, however, must be largely identical to that of the previous one . Experience has shown that this is unlikely even with an immovable, armored target.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Geschoßanordnung der eingangs genannten Gattung bereitzustellen, die sich mit hoher Vernichtungswahrscheinlichkeit zum Bekämpfen aktiv gepanzerter Ziele eignet.The invention has for its object to provide a floor arrangement of the type mentioned, which is suitable with a high probability of annihilation for fighting actively armored targets.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Erfindung. Dabei ergeben sich vorteilhafterweise Ausgestaltungslehren aus den Kennzeichen der weiteren Ansprüche.This object is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Design gauges advantageously result from the characteristics of the further claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung im wesentlichen schematisch und unter Verzicht auf erfindungsunwesentliche Einzelheiten dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels des näheren erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the closer shown in the drawing, essentially schematically and without details that are not essential to the invention.

It shows

Gemäß Fig. 1 befinden sich drei Fluggeschosse 11, 12 und 13 hintereinander auf einer aus Einfachheitsgründen als Gerade dargestellten gemeinschaftlichen Flugbahn T, deren (zunächst gedachter) Endpunkt 58 auf einer ersten Panzerplatte 54 zwischen zwei Panzerplatten 52 und 56 eines vereinfacht und schematisch dargestellten, aktiv gepanzerten Zieles 50 liegt. Das in Richtung S vorausfliegende Fluggeschoß 11 ist mittels eines Drahtes 45 mit dem im Abstand EI nachfolgenden Fluggeschoß 12 verbunden. Mittels eines Drahtes 46 ist das Fluggeschoß 12 mit dem im Abstand E2 nachfolgenden Fluggeschoß 13 verbunden. Zur besseren Übersicht sind die Abstände E1 und E2 sowohl verkürzt wie auch gleich lang dargestellt. Sobald das Fluggeschoß 11 auf die Panzerplatte 54 trifft, löst es eine nicht dargestellte zielseitige Ladung aus. Hierdurch wird die Panzerplatte 54 gegenüber den benachbarten Panzerplatten 52 und 56 auf eine nicht näher dargestellte und beschriebene Art beschleunigt, um das Fluggeschoß 11 zu stören und hierdurch dessen Wirkung weitgehend zu beeinträchtigen.According to FIG. 1, three missiles 11, 12 and 13 are located one behind the other on a common trajectory T, represented as a straight line for reasons of simplicity, whose (initially imagined) end point 58 is active on a first armored plate 54 between two armored plates 52 and 56 of a simplified and schematically illustrated one armored target 50. The missile 11 flying ahead in the direction S is connected by a wire 45 to the missile 12 following at a distance EI. The missile 12 is connected to the missile 13 following at a distance E2 by means of a wire 46. For a better overview, the distances E1 and E2 are both shortened and shown the same length. As soon as the missile 11 hits the armor plate 54, it triggers an unillustrated target charge. As a result, the armor plate 54 is accelerated in relation to the adjacent armor plates 52 and 56 in a manner not shown and described in order to disrupt the missile 11 and thereby largely impair its effect.

In Fig. 2 ist mit 54* die in Fig. 1 mit 54 bezeichnete Panzerplatte während der Beschleunigung schematisch und das Fluggeschoß 11 nicht mehr dargestellt. Die der Panzerplatte 54 (54') zugeordnete Ladung ist durch das Fluggeschoß 11 deaktiviert. Das im Abstand EI nachfolgende und ebenfalls auf den Bereich der Panzerplatte 54 (54') gerichtete Fluggeschoß 12 kann nun ungestörterweise wirksam werden, während das auf der gemeinschaftlichen Flugbahn T im Abstand E2 dem Fluggeschoß 12 nachfolgende Fluggeschoß 13 die Schadwirkung im betrachteten Zielbereich weiter vergrößert.In Fig. 2 with 54 * the armored plate designated in Fig. 1 with 54 during acceleration is schematic and the missile 11 is no longer shown. The charge assigned to the armor plate 54 (54 ') is deactivated by the missile 11. The missile 12 following at the distance EI and also directed at the area of the armor plate 54 (54 ') can now operate without disruption, while the missile 13 following the missile 12 on the common trajectory T at the distance E2 further increases the harmful effect in the target area under consideration.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Aufbau des an zweiter Stelle in Fig. 1 dargestellten Fluggeschosses 12. Sein unterkalibriger Geschoßhauptteil (Penetrator) 14 wird vorderseitig von einer im wesentlichen eben dargestellten Stirnfläche 16 mit einer umfangsseitigen zähharten Anbeißkante 28 und rückseitig von einer kreisringförmigen Heckfläche 18 begrenzt. Eine ballistische Haube 20 mit einer Wandung 22 und einer Spitze 24 verkleidet die Stirnfläche 16 und ist mit dem Penetrator 14 auf nicht näher dargestellte Weise verbunden. Im Bereich der Spitze 24 ist ein nur andeutungsweise dargestellter, im wesentlichen als dünnes Düsenrohr ausgebildeter Einsatz 26 mit der Geschoßlängsachse A fluchtend vorgesehen. Er dient zur schützenden Durchführung des Drahtes 45 zur Verbindung mit dem (in Fig. 1 an erster Stelle dargestellten) Fluggeschoß 11. Ein Ende 45' des Drahtes 45 ist im Bereich der Stirnfläche 16 in einem nicht näher dargestellten elastischen Zugaufnehmer 30 festgelegt, der eine erste Drahtbefestigung bildet. Im Bereich eines heckseitigen Stabilisierungsleitwerks 32 ist in dem Penetrator 14 eine als Drahtmagazin 33 ausgebildete zweite Drahtbefestigung angeordnet. Sie wird gebildet durch eine kreiszylindrische Ausdrehung 34 mit einer vorderseitigen Begrenzungsfläche 36. Die nicht näher bezeichnete rückseitige Öffnung der Ausdrehung 34 ist mit einem kreisförmigen Führungselement 38 versehen, dessen gerundete Innenfläche 39 eine (vergrößert dargestellte) Durchlaßöffnung 40 begrenzt. Ein Spulenkörper 42 ist achsfluchtend mit seinem nicht näher bezeichneten ersten Ende im Bereich der Begrenzungsfläche 36 festgelegt und erstreckt sich durch die Ausdrehung 34, so daß ein im wesentlichen pilzkopfförmiges, verdicktes freies Ende 43 der Innenseite des Führungselements 38 benachbart ist. Das Ende 43 des Spulenkörpers 42 weist bei einem Außendurchmesser, der größer ist als der Durchmesser der Durchlaßöffnung 40,eine gerundete Außenfläche 44 auf. Auf dem Spulenkörper 42 ist der Draht 46 aufgewickelt und zur Verbindung mit dem (in Fig. 1 an dritter Stelle dargestellten) nachfolgenden Fluggeschoß 13 durch die Durchlaßöffnung 40 geführt.Fig. 3 shows the structure of the second storey shown in Fig. 1, the flight floor 12. Its sub-caliber main part (penetrator) 14 is delimited on the front by an essentially flat end face 16 with a circumferential tough bite edge 28 and on the back by an annular rear surface 18. A ballistic hood 20 with a wall 22 and a tip 24 covers the end face 16 and is connected to the penetrator 14 in a manner not shown. In the area of the tip 24, an insert 26, which is only indicated and is essentially designed as a thin nozzle tube, is provided in alignment with the longitudinal axis A of the projectile. It serves for the protective passage of the wire 45 for connection to the missile 11 (shown in the first place in FIG. 1). One end 45 'of the wire 45 is fixed in the region of the end face 16 in an elastic tension transducer 30, not shown, which one forms the first wire attachment. In the area of a stabilizing tail unit 32 on the rear, a second wire fastening designed as a wire magazine 33 is arranged in the penetrator 14. It is formed by a circular cylindrical recess 34 a front-side boundary surface 36. The rear opening of the recess 34, which is not designated in any more detail, is provided with a circular guide element 38, the rounded inner surface 39 of which delimits a passage opening 40 (shown enlarged). A coil former 42 is fixed in alignment with its first end, not designated in any more detail, in the region of the boundary surface 36 and extends through the recess 34, so that a substantially mushroom-shaped, thickened free end 43 is adjacent to the inside of the guide element 38. The end 43 of the bobbin 42 has a rounded outer surface 44 with an outer diameter that is larger than the diameter of the passage opening 40. The wire 46 is wound on the bobbin 42 and is guided through the passage opening 40 for connection to the subsequent missile 13 (shown in third place in FIG. 1).

Zum Gewährleisten der gegenüber al größeren Werte a2 und a3 weisen die nachfolgenden Fluggeschosse 12 und 13 (siehe Fig. 3) jeweils wenigstens zwei Elemente 50 auf, für welche in der Wandung 22 der ballistischen Haube 20 Durchlässe 23 vorgesehen sind. Den Elementen 50 ist eine Vorrichtung 52 zugeordnet. Letztere weist in Gelenken 54 als Parallelogramm angeordnete Stäbe 56 auf. An einander benachbarten Gelenken 54 sind die Elemente 50 befestigt, deren freie Enden 51 über die nicht näher bezeichnete Außenfläche der ballistischen Haube 20 radial überstehen. Das eine der auf der Geschoßlängsachse A liegenden Gelenke 54 ist am elastischen Zugaufnehmer der spitzenseitigen Drahtbefestigung 30 festgelegt, während an dem anderen Gelenk 54 das Ende 45' des Drahtes 45 befestigt ist. Eine Zugfeder 56 verbindet die beiden auf der Geschoßlängsachse A liegende Gelenke 54 miteinander. Sie sorgt dafür, daß die Elemente 50 im Ausgangszustand eine vorgegebene Stellung einnehmen, in welcher der jeweils für a2 (bzw. a3) vorgegebene Höchstwert verwirklicht ist. Sobald sich nach dem Verlassen eines nicht dargestellten Waffenrohres die ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Treibkäfigsegmente von den Fluggeschossen 11, 12 und 13 getrennt haben, nehmen letztere unter Abwicklung der Drähte 45 und 46 von dem jeweiligen Spulenkörper 42 den vorgegebenen Abstand EI bzw. E2 ein. Ist dieser erreicht, übt das in Fig. 3 dargestellte Drahtende 45' eine Zugkraft auf das vordere Gelenk 54 aus, die Zugfeder 56 wird gedehnt und die beiden Elemente 50 bewegen sich unter Verringerung des Wertes a2 gegen die Geschoßlängsachse A. Beim Nachlassen der durch den Draht 45 übertragenen Zugkraft kann sich die Zugfeder 56 wieder entspannen, die Elemente bewegen sich in umgekehrter Richtung wieder nach außen, so daß sich ein Wert für a2 (bzw. a3)einstellt, bei dem der Draht 45 (bzw. 46) ausreichend gestrafft ist. Andererseits wird aber auch das jeweilige vorausfliegende Fluggeschoß 11 (bzw. 12) durch das nachfolgende Fluggeschoß 12 (bzw. 13) nicht über Gebühr gebremst. Durch die erfinderische Anordnung ist auch im anderen Zusammenhang ein exakter Hintereinanderlug gewährleistet: Dem vorausfliegenden Fluggeschoß 11 (bzw. 12) folgt ein Bereich, in dem für das nachfolgende Fluggeschoß 12 (bzw. 13) der Luftwiderstand gegenüber der Umgebung verringert ist. Beim Verlassen des betreffenden Bereichs wird in Folge des größeren Luftwiderstandes eine größere Zugkraft wirksam, indem der Draht 45 (bzw. 46) stärker gespannt und in Folge dessen die Vorrichtung 52 betätigt wird, wobei das nachfolgende Fluggeschoß 12 (bzw. 13) wieder in den günstigeren Bereich zurückkehren kann.In order to ensure that the values a 2 and a 3 are larger than a l , the following missiles 12 and 13 (see FIG. 3) each have at least two elements 50, for which passages 23 are provided in the wall 22 of the ballistic hood 20. A device 52 is assigned to the elements 50. The latter has rods 56 arranged as a parallelogram in joints 54. The elements 50, the free ends 51 of which project radially beyond the unspecified outer surface of the ballistic hood 20, are fastened to joints 54 which are adjacent to one another. One of the joints 54 lying on the longitudinal axis A of the floor is fixed to the elastic tension sensor of the tip-side wire fastening 30, while the end 45 ′ of the wire 45 is fastened to the other joint 54. A tension spring 56 connects the two joints 54 lying on the longitudinal axis A of the floor. It ensures that the elements 50 assume a predetermined position in the initial state, in which the maximum value predetermined for a 2 (or a 3 ) is achieved. As soon as the sabot segments, which are also not shown, have separated from the missiles 11, 12 and 13 after leaving a weapon barrel (not shown), the latter take up the predetermined distance EI or E2 while the wires 45 and 46 are being unwound from the respective bobbin 42. If this is reached, the wire end 45 ′ shown in FIG. 3 exerts a tensile force on the front joint 54, the tension spring 56 is stretched and the two elements 50 move against the longitudinal axis A of the floor while reducing the value a 2 the tensile force transmitted to the wire 45, the tension spring 56 can relax again, the elements move outward again in the opposite direction, so that a value for a 2 (or a 3 ) is established in which the wire 45 (or 46) is sufficiently streamlined. On the other hand, the respective flight floor 11 (or 12) flying ahead is not unduly braked by the subsequent flight floor 12 (or 13). The inventive arrangement also ensures an exact succession in the other context: the flying floor 11 (or 12) is followed by an area in which the air resistance to the surroundings is reduced for the subsequent floor 12 (or 13). When leaving the area in question, a greater tensile force becomes effective as a result of the greater air resistance, in that the wire 45 (or 46) is tightened more and the device 52 is actuated as a result, the subsequent missile 12 (or 13) returning to the cheaper area can return.
