Definitions
- the invention relates to an insert for a warhead, the Art ⁇ defined in the preamble of claim 1
- a warhead with an insert is known from US Pat. No. 4,356,770, which is designed as a spherical cap.
- This spherical cap creates an essentially rod-shaped projectile through explosive deformation, but due to its aerodynamically unfavorable shape it has unstable flight behavior, a high drop in speed and consequently an insufficient end ballistic performance.
- the high level of wi n d i g ke i t s a b f a l l is essentially caused by the hemispherical shape of the top of the projectile.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an insert for a warhead which, by means of explosive deformation, enables the production of a projectile with increased end-ballistic performance even with explosive explosives.
- a pointed projectile nose should be created so that the target speed is raised.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a conventional warhead with an insert and a projectile produced by explosive shaping from the insert.
- Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of an insert according to the invention, with the projectile generated by explosive forming from the insert and
- Fig. 4 shows another insert according to the invention with a conical central region.
- FIG. 1 shows an essentially cave-shaped battle cap 10, in the housing 11 of which an explosive charge 13 activated by an igniter 12 is arranged.
- the explosive charge 13 is delimited on one side by a dome-shaped insert 14, from which a projectile can be formed by explosive forging.
- the insert 14 has the shape of a spherical cap.
- the projectile shown schematically in FIG. 1 at 15 can be produced from such an insert by the explosive shaping after ignition of the explosive charge 13. Such projectiles have a sharp drop in speed, which is due to the aerodynamically unfavorable shape of the tip of the projectile 15.
- the insert 14 creates a projectile 15 with a tip in the shape of a hemisphere.
- FIG. 2 shows an insert 20 which, apart from a central area 22, essentially corresponds to the insert 14 (FIG. 1). In the area 22 around the center of the insert, the insert has a greater convex curvature in the direction of the explosive 13 (FIG. 1) than outside the area 22.
- the geometric change in the area 22 of the insert can have any shape (linear, square, S-shaped, etc.) such that the radial pressure components pr at the edge of the area 22 are larger than the radial pressure components p'r within this area outside of area 22 but also in the immediate vicinity of this area.
- the height ⁇ x of the curvature and the diameter d of the area 22 up to which the geometric change is carried out depend on the explosive used and the insert material and must each be determined experimentally.
- the maximum diameter d of the area 22 is approximately 10 to 25% of the diameter D of the insert 20 and the height 4 x of the curvature (indentation) must be less than 15% in this area. the height of the curvature of the insert 20.
- the wall thickness s of the insert within the area around the insert center can be selected to be at least in a partial area smaller than the wall thickness of the insert outside of the said area. A corresponding exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 3.
- the deposit was made at 40 and through at 50
- the area 42 around the insert center corresponds to the area 22 in FIG. 2.
- the insert geometry is changed in a partial area 43 such that the corresponding diameter s is smaller than the diameter S of the insert outside the area 42.
- the remaining one Wall thickness of the insert in area 43 must, however, be selected so that the insert does not burst in the case of particularly explosive explosives.
- the insert in the area around the insert center can also have a linear (i.e. conical) course. This is shown in Fig. 4. 60 was the insert, 61 the area in which the insert 60 has a conical terlauf 62.
Abstract
Bei bekannten Gefechtskopfeinlagen (14) erfolgt durch Explosionsumformung eine Erzeugung von Projektilen (15) mit stark abgeflachtem Bugteil. Dadurch ist der Geschwindigkeitsabfall derartiger Projektile (15) relativ groß und die Zielgeschwindigkeit in der Regel zu gering. Um den Geschwindigkeitsabfall zu verringern, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Einlage (20) innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Berei ches (22) um das Einlagenzentrum herum eine stärkere Einbuchtung in Richtung des für die Explosionsumformung benö tigten Sprengstoffes (13) aufweist als außerhalb aber in unmittelbarer Umgebung dieses Bereiches (22). Durch diese Maß nahme wird erreicht, daß das Projektil (30) eine ogivale Projektilnase mit gleichzeitig verringertem Nasendurchmesser erhält. With known warhead inserts (14) explosion formation leads to the production of projectiles (15) with a strongly flattened front part. This is the speed drop of such projectiles (15) is relatively large and the target speed is usually too low. Around To reduce the speed drop, it is proposed that the insert (20) within a predetermined range ches (22) around the deposit center around a stronger indentation in the direction of the for the Explosionformung needed taken explosives (13) as outside but in the immediate vicinity of this area (22). By that measure It is achieved that the projectile (30) has an ogival projectile nose with a simultaneously reduced nose diameter receives.
In known warhead liners (14), projec tiles (15) with extremely flattened noses are produced as a result of explosion deformation. In consequence, the speed of such projectiles (15) is drastically reduced and the target speed is generally too low. To diminish the reduction in speed, the lining (20) has, inside a predeter mined area (22) around the centre of the lin ing, a deeper indentation in the direction of the explosive (13) required for the explosion deformation than outside but in the immediate vicinity of this area (22). This measure makes it possible to achieve a projectile (30) with an ogival nose of smaller diameter.
