Abstract

Ein Submunitions-Wirkteil, sowie ein Flechettes-Gefechtskopf und Flechettes dafür, sollen dahingehend ausgelegt werden, daß der mittels eines Trägers (75) verbringbare Wirkteil (90) einerseits im Interesse der Verbringung über größere Distanzen möglichst geringes Gewicht aufweist und andererseits ein vorherbestimmbar-großes Zielgebiet abdeckt, in dem Wirkungen gegen unterschiedliche, auch halbhart bis hart gepanzerte Ziele selbst dann noch wirksam bekämpft werden können sollen, wenn sie sich in der gedeckten Stellung eines natürlichen oder künstlichen Schutzzustandes befinden. Dafür besteht der Wirkteil (90) aus mehreren Submunitions-Gefechtsköpfen (51) mit Flechettes (60), die zunächst mit dem Gefechtskopf (51) durch ein Raketentrieb­ werk (70) axial beschleunigt und um die Gefechtskopf-Achse (57) in Rotation versetzt werden, woraufhin eine weitere Beschleunigung beim Ausstoß der Flechettes (60) aus dem Gefechtskopf-Gehäuse (52) erfolgt. Die Flechettes (60) können im Interesse gesteigerter Sekundär­ wirkung einen axialen, mit Brandmasse (94) gefüllten Hohlraum (95) aufweisen. Zur Bekämpfung von Startbahnen bzw. als Bodenminen ausge­ legte Flechettes (60) weisen einen radial vom Schaft (66) vorstehenden heckseitigen Ansatz (68) als Eindring-Bremse auf, um den Fahrverkehr störende Elemente bzw. einen Zündsensor am Schaft-Heck (59) in der Nähe der Oberfläche zu positionieren. A submunition active part, as well as a Flechettes warhead and Flechettes for this should be interpreted in such a way that the means active part (90) of a carrier (75), on the one hand in the interest weight as small as possible over longer distances and on the other hand a predeterminable large target area covers, in which effects against different, also semi-hard until hard-armored targets are still effectively combated should be able to, if they are in the covered position of a natural or artificial protection status. That is what the active part is for (90) from several submunition warheads (51) with flechettes (60), initially with the warhead (51) by a rocket engine movement (70) axially accelerated and around the warhead axis (57) be rotated, whereupon further acceleration when the flechettes (60) are ejected from the warhead housing (52) he follows. The flechettes (60) can be of secondary interest in the interest effect an axial cavity (95) filled with fire mass (94) exhibit. Used to combat runways or as ground mines Flechettes (60) placed have a protruding radially from the shaft (66) rear-side approach (68) as an intrusion brake on to driving traffic disruptive elements or an ignition sensor on the shaft rear (59) in the Position near the surface.
