Abstract

An exercise firing projectile containing a plurality of pyrotechnic fragmentation devices are expelled from the projectile casing above the target area by an ejection charge, and delay tubes of the fragmentation devices are ignited at the same time by this charge through a central igniter tube contained within the projectile. The active charge of the devices consist of a grainy composite with quick reaction time.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Übungs-Bomblet-Geschoß.The invention relates to a practice bomblet projectile.

Bomblet-Geschosse dienen vorzugsweise zur Bekämpfung von gepanzerten Fahrzeugen. Dabei wird das Bomblet-Geschoß durch Abschuß aus einem Geschütz oder mittels eines Raketenmotors über das Ziel gebracht, beispielsweise in einer Höhe von 300 bis 400 m, worauf dann eine Ausstoßladung die etwa 50 - 90 Bomblets aus der Geschoßhülle ausstößt bzw. ausschiebt. Die Bomblets fallen dann einzeln nach unten, wobei sie sich am Boden über ein Gebiet von etwa 50 bis 300 m verteilen. Die Bomlets enthalten eine Hohlladung und einen Aufschlagzünder, so daß sie beim Auftreffen auf beispielsweise ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug zünden und die Panzerungsplatte durchschlagen.Bomblet projectiles are used primarily to combat armored vehicles. The bomblet projectile is brought over the target by firing from a gun or by means of a rocket motor, for example at a height of 300 to 400 m, whereupon an ejection charge ejects or pushes out about 50-90 bomblets from the shell of the projectile. The bomblets then fall down one by one, spreading over an area of approximately 50 to 300 m on the ground. The bomlets contain a shaped charge and an impact detonator, so that when they hit an armored vehicle, for example, they ignite and penetrate the armor plate.

Fur die Komponentenerprobung geht man heute so vor, daß aus den Bomblets entweder der Aufschlagzünder oder aber die Hohlladung entfernt wird. Damit können zwar einwandfreie Komponententests durchgeführt werden, etwa bezüglich der Wirksamkeit der Ausstoßladung, der Funktionstüchtigkeit der Aufschlagzünder und dergleichen, ein praxisnahes Üben jedoch ist damit nicht möglich. Weil die Funktionsmerkmale Detonationswolke, Lichtblitz und Detonationsknall fehlen und zudem im Fall der Sprengstofferprobung dieser die Handhabungssicherheit erschwert.For component testing, the procedure today is that either the impact detonator or the shaped charge is removed from the bomblets. Although this allows flawless component tests to be carried out, for example with regard to the effectiveness of the exhaust charge, the functionality of the impact detonators and the like, it is not possible to practice them in practice. Because the functional characteristics of the detonation cloud, flash of light and detonation bang are missing and, in addition, in the case of explosives testing, this makes handling safety more difficult.

Aus der US-A-4 173 931 ist ein Bomblet-Geschoß mit in der Geschoßhülle um ein zentrales Innenrohr gestapelten Bomblets bekannt, die über dem Zielgebiet durch eine Ausstoßladung aus der Hülle ausgestoßen werden, sich vereinzeln und auf das Zielgebiet fallen und dort aufschlagen, wobei die Bomblets aus einem Gehäuse, einer darin untergebrachten Wirkladung, einer Anzündeinrichtung und einem Leitwerkband bestehen, bei dem die Wirkladung der Bomblets eine Hohlladung ist und die einen Verzögerungssatz aufweisende Anzündeinrichtung über im zentralen Innenrohr angeordnete Zündlöcher durch die Ausstoßladung anzündbar ist.From US-A-4 173 931 a bomblet projectile is known with bomblets stacked in the projectile casing around a central inner tube, which are ejected from the casing by an ejection charge over the target area, separate and fall onto the target area and hit there, wherein the bomblets consist of a housing, an active charge accommodated therein, an ignition device and a tail belt, in which the active charge of the bomblets is a shaped charge and the one delay set having ignition device can be ignited through the ejection charge via ignition holes arranged in the central inner tube.

Weiterhin ist es aus der US-A-3 374 741 bekannt, bei Übungsgeschossen zur Schußbeobachtung als Wirkladung ein Gemisch von Nitrocellulose mit anderen Komponenten zu verwenden.Furthermore, it is known from US Pat. No. 3,374,741 to use a mixture of nitrocellulose with other components as an active charge in practice projectiles for the observation of shots.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Bombletgeschosses für Übungszwecke, das ein möglichst praxisnahes Üben ermöglicht, dabei jedoch gefahrlos und möglichst wirtschaftlich ist. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1.The object of the present invention is to create a bomblet projectile for practice purposes, which enables practically practical practice, but is safe and economical. The solution to this problem results from the features of claim 1.

Durch die Verwendung eines pyrotechnischen Satzes ergibt sich eine mit einem scharfen Bomblet vergleichbare Simulation von Knall und Blitz, mit der Folge eines vergleichbaren Bodentreffbildes und einer auf große Entfernung sichtbaren optischen Aufschlagmarkierung. Darüberhinaus entsteht durch Erdauswurf und Verbrennungsrückstände eine Zerlegerwolke, die Weitgehend derjenigen der scharfen Munition entspricht und die optische Erkennbarkeit der Bomblet-Einschläge und damit deren Verteilung im Zielbereich wie bei der scharfen Munition ermöglicht. Die Zündung dieses pyrotechnischen Satzes erfolgt durch ein Verzögerungsstück, das beim Ausstoß der Bomblets aus dem Geschoß angezündet wird und eine Über die Fallzeit der Bomblets hinaus ausreichende Verzögerungszeit besitzt. Damit wird die Sicherheit bei der Wiederaufnahme von Blindgängern gegenüber der scharfen Munition wesentlich erhöht, weil ein Verzögerungsstück, das nicht funktioniert hat, durch mechanische Stöße oder dergleichen -im Gegensatz zu Aufschlagzündern- nicht zur nachträglichen Funktion gebracht werden kann. Die beim Üben obligatorische Bergung der im Zielgebiet verteilten Bomblets bzw. Bomblet-Reste ist somit völlig gefahrlos, selbst wenn Blindgänger existieren. Außerdem ist ein Verzögerungsstück wesentlich kostengünstiger als der notwendigerweise mit einem komplizierten Zündsicherungssystem verbundene Aufschlagzünder der scharfen Munition. Die Zündung der Verzögerungsstücke erfolgt beim Ausstoß der Bomblets - aus dem Geschoß, und zwar durch die vorhandene Ausstoßladung, die also zugleich als Anzündladung dient. Die Verteilung der Anzündflamme auf die einzelnen Bomblets wird dabei durch das zentrale Innenrohr bewirkt. Dieses zentrale Innenrohr dient außerdem zur Fixierung der Bomblets in der Geschoßhülle, so daß -wie später noch im einzelnen Erläutert werden wird- einfache und kostengünstige Geschoßhüllen entsprechenden Kalibers verwendet werden können, ohne daß es der wesentlich teureren, mit Innenrippen versehenen Spezialhüllen der scharfen Munition bedarf.The use of a pyrotechnic sentence results in a simulation of bang and lightning comparable to a sharp bomblet, with the result of a comparable ground hit image and an optical impact mark visible from a great distance. In addition, due to earth ejection and combustion residues, a decomposition cloud arises, largely that of the decomposition corresponds to the live ammunition and enables the optical recognition of the bomblet impacts and thus their distribution in the target area as with the live ammunition. This pyrotechnic charge is ignited by a delay element which is ignited when the bomblets are ejected from the projectile and which has a sufficient delay time beyond the fall time of the bomblets. This significantly increases the safety when resuming unexploded ordnance compared to live ammunition because, unlike impact detonators, a delay piece that did not work cannot be made to function afterwards by mechanical shocks or the like. The mandatory recovery of bomblets or bomblet remains distributed in the target area is therefore completely safe, even if unexploded ordnance exists. In addition, a delay piece is considerably less expensive than the live detonator of the live ammunition which is necessarily connected to a complicated ignition protection system. The delay pieces are ignited when the bomblets are ejected - from the floor, by the existing ejection charge, which also serves as an ignition charge. The distribution of the ignition flame to the individual bomblets is effected through the central inner tube. This central inner tube also serves to fix the bomblets in the projectile casing, so that - as will be explained in detail later - simple and inexpensive projectile casings of the appropriate caliber can be used without the need for the much more expensive special casings provided with internal ribs of the live ammunition .

In den Unteransprüchen sind besonders zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gekennzeichnet, betreffend dem pyrotechnischen Satz, die Ausbildung und Anordnung des Verzögerungssatzes in den Bomblets und die Anordnung der Bomblets in der Geschoßhülle.Particularly expedient refinements of the invention are characterized in the subclaims, with regard to the pyrotechnic sentence, the design and arrangement of the delay sentence in the bomblets and the arrangement of the bomblets in the projectile casing.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist das im Ganzen mit 10 bezeichnete Bomblet ein becherförmiges Gehäuse 11 auf, das durch einen Deckel 12 verschlossen ist. Der Deckel 12 ist an seiner freien Oberseite mit einer Ausnehmung 12a versehen, in der sich ein Stift 12b zur Befestigung eines Leitwerkbandes 13 befindet. Im Deckel verläuft diametral eine beidends offene Zündbohrung 14. Eine vom Deckel 12 ins Innere des Gehäuses 11 ragende Schulter 12c dient zur Halterung eines Verzögerungsröhrchens 15. Wie am besten aus Fig. 1A ersichtlich ist, besteht das Verzögerungsröhrchen 15, wie üblich, aus einem Anfeuerungssatz 15a, einem Verzögerungssatz 15b und einem Abfeuerungssatz 15c. Die Anfeuerungsseite des Verzögerungsröhrchens 15 ist zum Zündkanal 14 hin durch eine Folien 16, vorzugsweise aus Aluminium, abgedeckt, wobei zwischen der freien Endfläche des Anzündsatzes 15a und der Folie 16 ein kleiner Abstand von beispielsweise 1,75 mm besteht; der Zweck dieses Abstands wird später noch erläutert werden. Mit 17 ist die Wirkmasse des Bomblets 10 bezeichnet, wobei es sich um einen pyrotechnischen Knallblitzsatz handelt. Der pyrotechnische Satz 17 besteht aus grobkörniger Nitrocellulose (NC) und Magnesiumpulver. Ein geeignetes Bindemittel stellt sicher, daß das Magnesiumpulver auf der Oberfläche der NC-Körner, die beispielsweise die Form kleiner Stäbchen haben können, haftet, derart, daß jedes NC-Korn mit Magnesiumpulver beschichtet ist, was eine Entmischung verhindert.According to FIG. 1, the bomblet, designated as a whole by 10, has a cup-shaped housing 11, which is closed by a cover 12. The lid 12 is provided on its free upper side with a recess 12a in which a pin 12b for fastening a tail belt 13 is located. A pilot hole 14, open at both ends, runs diametrically in the cover. A shoulder 12c projecting from the cover 12 into the interior of the housing 11 serves to hold a delay tube 15. As can best be seen from FIG. 1A, the delay tube 15 consists, as usual, of a firing kit 15a, a delay set 15b and a firing set 15c. The firing side of the delay tube 15 is covered towards the ignition channel 14 by a film 16, preferably made of aluminum, with a small distance of, for example, 1.75 mm between the free end face of the ignition charge 15a and the film 16; the purpose of this distance will be explained later. The effective mass of the bomblet 10 is designated by 17, it being a pyrotechnic firing flash set. The pyrotechnic set 17 consists of coarse-grained nitrocellulose (NC) and magnesium powder. A suitable binder ensures that the magnesium powder adheres to the surface of the NC grains, which may have the shape of small rods, for example, so that each NC grain is coated with magnesium powder, which prevents segregation.

Die Fig. 2, 2A und 2B zeigen ein im Ganzen mit 20 bezeichnetes Bomblet-Geschoß, in dessen Hülle 21 ein Stapel von Bomblets 10 untergebracht ist. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Bomblet-Stapel aus vier übereinander angeordneten Lagen von jeweils fünf gleichmäßig um die Geschoß-Längsachse verteilten Bomblets, also insgesamt aus zwanzig Bomblets 10. Das Geschoß 20 wird von einem zentralen Innenrohr 22, nachfolgend kurz Zündrohr genannt, durchsetzt, dessen der Geschoßspitze 20a zugewandtes Ende mit einer Ausstoß-Anzündladung 23 in Verbindung steht, während sein hinteres Ende durch den Geschoß-Boden 20b abgedeckt ist. Das Zündrohr 22 weist im Querschnitt (Fig. 2B) die Form in etwa eines Zahnrades mit fünf abgerundeten Zähnen auf, wobei die fünf Teilkreise-Zahngründe einen derartigen Kreisdurchmesser aufweisen, daß die Bomblets 10 passend in den Zahngründen einliegen. Damit wird offensichtlich verhindert, daß sich die Bomblets 10 in Umfangsrichtung des Zündrohres 22 bzw. der Geschoßhülle 21 bewegen können. Eine Drehung der Bomblets 10 um ihre Längsachse wird durch am Bomblet-Gehäuse 11 befindliche Nasen 11a verhindert, die an den Zähnen des Zündrohres 22 anliegen, wobei hartelastische Rippen 24 zwischengeschaltet sind, die in Längsrichtung über das Zündrohr 22 verlaufen. Damit wird eine schüttel- und rüttelfeste Lagerung der Bomblets 10 in der Geschoßhülle 21 sichergestellt, darüberhinaus aber auch die Verdrehsicherheit der Bomblets 10 gewährleistet. Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist nun, daß durch die Gehäusenasen 11a die Bomblets 10 so gerichtet sind, daß ihre Zündkanäle 14 radial im Geschoß verlaufen, derart, daß das innere Ende des Zündkanals 14 am Zündrohr 22, das äußere Ende an der Innenfläche der Geschoßhülle 21 anliegt. Dabei weist das Zündrohr 22 Zündlöcher 22a auf, die eine offene Verbindung zwischen dem Inneren des Zündrohres 22 und den Zündbohrungen 14 der Bomblets 10 herstellen. Das äußere Ende der Zündbohrungen 14 liegt zwar, wie bereits erwähnt, an der Innenfläche der Geschoßhülle 21 an, jedoch erfolgt dabei keine vollständige Abdeckung der Zündbohrungsmündung, weil die Krümmung des Gehäuses 11 der Bomblets 10 stärker ist als die Krümmung der einen größeren Durchmesser aufweisenden Geschoßhülle. Bei den mit 25 bezeichneten Trapezkörpern handelt es sich um Füllstücke. Die Füllstücke sind teilweise aus Aluminium (oder Kunststoff) und teilweise aus Stahl. Über die Anordnung und Stückzahl der schwereren Stahlfüllstücke wird Gewicht und Schwerpunktlage des Gesamtgeschosses eingestellt. Der mit 26 bezeichnete Ring dient zur Abdeckung der Deckel 12 der dem Geschoßboden nächsten Bomblets und damit zum zusätzlichen Schutz deren Leitwerksbänder 13, die ansonsten durch leicht lösbare Papp- oder Kunststoffscheiben 12d abgedeckt sind.2, 2A and 2B show a bomblet projectile designated as a whole by 20, in the casing 21 of which a stack of bomblets 10 is housed. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the bomblet stack consists of four superimposed layers of five bomblets each distributed uniformly around the longitudinal axis of the floor, that is to say a total of twenty bomblets 10. The floor 20 is penetrated by a central inner tube 22, hereinafter referred to as ignition tube. whose end facing the projectile tip 20a is connected to an ejection igniter charge 23, while its rear end is covered by the projectile floor 20b. The ignition tube 22 has in cross section (FIG. 2B) the shape of approximately a gearwheel with five rounded teeth, the five pitch circle tooth bases having such a circular diameter that the bomblets 10 lie appropriately in the tooth bases. This obviously prevents the bomblets 10 from moving in the circumferential direction of the ignition tube 22 or the projectile casing 21. Rotation of the bomblets 10 about their longitudinal axis is prevented by lugs 11a located on the bomblet housing 11, which abut the teeth of the ignition tube 22, with hard-elastic ribs 24 being interposed, which extend in the longitudinal direction over the ignition tube 22. This ensures that the bomblets 10 are stored in the projectile casing 21 in a shake-proof and vibration-proof manner, but also ensures that the bomblets 10 are not twisted. It is essential that the bomblets 10 are directed through the housing lugs 11a in such a way that their ignition channels 14 run radially in the projectile, such that the inner end of the ignition channel 14 bears on the ignition tube 22 and the outer end on the inner surface of the projectile casing 21 . In this case, the ignition tube 22 has ignition holes 22a, which produce an open connection between the interior of the ignition tube 22 and the ignition bores 14 of the bomblets 10. The outer end of the ignition bores 14 is, as already mentioned, on the inner surface of the projectile shell 21, but there is no complete covering of the ignition bore mouth, because the curvature of the housing 11 of the bomblets 10 is stronger than the curvature of the projectile shell having a larger diameter . The trapezoidal bodies labeled 25 are filler pieces. The filler pieces are partly made of aluminum (or plastic) and partly made of steel. The weight and center of gravity of the entire storey are set via the arrangement and number of pieces of the heavier steel filler pieces. The ring designated 26 serves to cover the Cover 12 of the bomblets closest to the floor and thus for additional protection of their tail bands 13, which are otherwise covered by easily detachable cardboard or plastic disks 12d.

Nachfolgend soll nun die Wirkungsweise des vorab beschriebenen Geschosses erläutert werden. Das Geschoß wird, wie die scharfe Munition von einem Abschußrohr abgeschossen, worauf dann, wenn sich das Geschoß über dem Zielgebiet befindet, ein Verzögerungszünder die Ausstoß- und Anzündladung 23 zündet. Damit werden zwei Vorgänge ausgelöst. Zum einen durchsetzt ein Zündstrahl der Ladung 23 das Zündrohr 22, dringt durch die Zündlöcher in die Zündbohrungen der Bomblets 10, durchschlägt die Abdeckfolien 16 und zündet die Anzündsätze 15a der Zündröhrchen 15. Zum anderen wird durch die gezündete Ladung 23 ein derartiger Gasdruck im Geschoß aufgebaut, daß eine Absprengung des Geschoßbodens 20b erfolgt und die Bomblets aus der nun hinten offenen Geschoßhülle ausgeschoben werden. Bezüglich des Entzündens der Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 der Bomblets 10 ist dabei von besonderer Bedeutung, daß der das Zündrohr 22 von vorne nach hinten durchsetzende Zündstrahl zweimal um 90°, also insgesamt um 180° umgelenkt wird, bevor er den Anzündsatz 15b der Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 erreicht; damit verliert der Zündstrahl einen Teil seiner Wucht, so daß keine Gefahr eines Durchschlagens der Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 und/oder einer unmittelbaren Entzündung des Wirksatzes 17 besteht. Die erwähnte teilweise Abdeckung des Außenendes der Zündbohrungen 14 führt dabei zu einem Stau in der Zündbohrung 14, was eine sichere Umleitung des Zündstrahles in Richtung auf das Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 hin gewährleistet. Der jedenfalls bereits erwähnte geringe Abstand zwischen Aluminiumfolie 16 und Anzündsatz 15a gewährleistet ein sicheres Durchschlagen der Folie 16; ist kein Abstand vorhanden, würde der Anzündsatz 15a als Widerlager für die Folie 16 wirken, so daß diese nicht durchschlagen wird, ist der Abstand zu groß, würde die Folie zwar durchschlagen, aber es wäre nicht mehr die Sicherheit gegeben, daß der Zündstrahl den Anzündsatz 15a erreicht und zündet. Die Anzündbohrung, die durch die Folie abgeklebt ist, ist im Durchmesser um 1 bis 2 mm kleiner als die Anzündbohrung des Verzögerungsstückes, in die der Satz eingepreßt ist. Diese Schulter verhindert ein Ausfließen des brennenden Satzes. Das beschriebene Zusammenspiel von Umlenkung des Zündstrahles der Ausstoß-und Anzündladung 23 um 180°, von Herbeiführung eines Staus in der Zündbohrung 14, von Aufrechterhaltung eines geringen Abstandes zwischen Aluminiumfolie 16 und Oberfläche des Anzündsatzes 15a des Verzögerungsröhrchens 15 und von anzündseitiger Schulter gewährleistet eine einwandfreie Zündung und Funktion der Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 ohne die Gefahr eines Durchschlagens der Verzögerungsröhrchen.The mode of operation of the projectile described above will now be explained below. The projectile, like the live ammunition, is fired from a launch tube, whereupon, when the projectile is above the target area, a delay detonator ignites the ejection and priming charge 23. This triggers two processes. On the one hand, an ignition jet of the charge 23 penetrates the ignition tube 22, penetrates through the ignition holes into the ignition bores of the bomblets 10, penetrates the cover foils 16 and ignites the igniter charges 15a of the ignition tubes 15. On the other hand, such a gas pressure is built up in the projectile by the ignited charge 23 that the floor 20b is blasted off and the bomblets are pushed out of the now open back shell. With regard to the ignition of the delay tubes 15 of the bomblets 10, it is of particular importance that the ignition beam passing through the ignition tube 22 from front to back is deflected twice by 90 °, that is to say a total of 180 °, before it reaches the ignition set 15b of the delay tubes 15; the pilot jet thus loses part of its force, so that there is no risk of the delay tubes 15 breaking through and / or the active sentence 17 igniting directly. The aforementioned partial covering of the outer end of the ignition bores 14 leads to a jam in the ignition bore 14, which ensures reliable redirection of the ignition jet in the direction of the delay tube 15. The small distance between the aluminum foil 16 and the ignition charge 15a, which has already been mentioned in any case, ensures that the foil 16 penetrates reliably; If there is no distance, the ignition charge 15a would act as an abutment for the film 16, so that the film 16 would not penetrate. If the distance was too large, the film would break through, but there would no longer be any certainty that the ignition jet would ignite the ignition charge 15a reaches and ignites. The ignition hole, which is taped by the film, is 1 to 2 mm smaller in diameter than the ignition hole of the delay piece, into which the set is pressed. That shoulder prevents the burning set from flowing out. The described interaction of deflection of the ignition jet of the ejection and ignition charge 23 by 180 °, of causing a jam in the ignition bore 14, of maintaining a small distance between the aluminum foil 16 and the surface of the ignition element 15a of the deceleration tube 15 and of the shoulder on the ignition side ensures perfect ignition and function of the delay tubes 15 without the risk of the delay tubes breaking through.

Die aus der Geschoßhülle 21 ausgeschobenen Bomblets 10 fallen nun durch Schwerkraft nach unten, wobei sich die in den Deckelhöhlungen 12a verstauten Leitwerksbänder 13 entfalten, womit ein einwandfreier vertikaler Fall der Bomblets 10 unterstützt wird. Die Bomblets 10 schlagen innerhalb von etwa 1 1/2 sec. nacheinander auf dem Erdboden auf. Die Verzögerungszeit der Verzögerungsröhrchen 15 ist so bemessen, daß deren Anzündsatz 15c kurz nach dem Aufschlag der Bomblets auf dem Erdboden den pyrotechnischen Satz 17 zünden. Dabei ergeben sich ein Blitz und ein Knall ähnlich wei bei der scharfen Munition. Außerdem entspricht die durch Erdauswurf und Verbrennungsrückstände entstehende Zerlegerwolke weitgehend der der scharfen Munition. Dabei ist jedoch wesentlich, daß die Bomblets mit dem Geschoßboden und nicht mit dem Deckel auf dem Boden aufschlagen, was, wie bereits angedeutet, durch die Leitwerkbänder 13 sichergestellt wird. Die Bomblet-Reste können völlig gefahrlos eingesammelt werden, was auch für eventuelle Blindgänger gilt.The bomblets 10 ejected from the projectile casing 21 now fall down by gravity, the tail straps 13 stowed in the cover cavities 12a unfolding, which supports a perfect vertical fall of the bomblets 10. The bomblets 10 hit the ground in succession within approximately 1 1/2 seconds. The delay time of the delay tubes 15 is dimensioned such that their ignition charge 15c ignite the pyrotechnic charge 17 shortly after the bomblets hit the ground. There is a flash and a bang similar to white in the live ammunition. In addition, the fragmentation cloud created by earth ejection and combustion residues largely corresponds to that of live ammunition. It is essential, however, that the bomblets hit the floor with the floor and not with the cover on the floor, which, as already indicated, is ensured by the tail bands 13. The remains of bomblets can be collected without any risk, which also applies to unexploded ordnance.

Das beschriebene Übungsgeschoß erlaubt eine ausgezeichnete Simulierung der scharfen Munition, ist gefahrlos und wirtschaftlich herzustellen, letzteres insbesondere deshalb, weil keine aufwendigen Zündsicherungssysteme erforderlich sind und anstelle der komplizierten Geschoßhüllen der scharfen Munition mit einfachen Geschoßhüllen auszukommen ist. Selbstverständlich kann die beschriebene Ausführungsform zahlreiche Abwandlungen erfahren, ohne den Bereich der Erfindung zu verlassen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Zahl der im Geschoß untergebrachten Bomblets und die damit zusammenhängende Außengestalt des Zündrohres, die Ausbildung des Bomblet-Deckels ohne oder mit Leitwerkbändern, die im Stauzustand durch Pappscheiben oder dergleichen abdeckbar sind, und die Zusammensetzung des pyrotechnischen Satzes.The training projectile described allows an excellent simulation of live ammunition, is safe and economical to manufacture, the latter in particular because no complex ignition protection systems are required and simple live case can be used instead of the complicated projectile casings of live ammunition. Of course, the described embodiment can undergo numerous modifications without leaving the scope of the invention. This applies in particular to the number of bomblets housed on the floor and the related external shape of the ignition tube, the design of the bomblet cover without or with tail bands, which can be covered by cardboard disks or the like when stowed, and the composition of the pyrotechnic sentence.
