Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Gefechtskopf mit einer Tandemladung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein Gefechtskopf mit einer Tandemladung entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der US-A-5 107 766 bekannt.The invention relates to a warhead with a tandem charge according to the preamble of claim 1. A warhead with a tandem charge according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-5 107 766.

Ein zweiter Gefechtskopf mit einer Tandemladung ist aus der US-PS 4,803,928 bekannt. In einem Gehäuse sind Zieldetektor für Aufschlag oder Annäherung, eine Bohrladung nach dem Hohlladungsprinzip, ein Führungsgehäuse für eine darin angeordnete axial geführte Nachschußladung, eine Treibladung für die Nachschußladung und Zündmittel für die Auslösung der Bohrlochladung und der Nachschußladung vorgesehen. Das Führungsgehäuse für die Nachschußladung mit der Treibladung ist aufgrund des hohen Druckes der Treibladung druckfest und daher mit verhältnismäßig großem Gewicht ausgestattet. Damit eignet sich dieser Gefechtskopf zur Zerstörung von Flugzeugpisten, indem die Bohrladung eine Bohrung in der Betonplatte erzeugt, in die die Nachschußladung eindringt und in der Bohrung detoniert.A second warhead with a tandem charge is known from US Pat. No. 4,803,928. In a housing there are target detectors for impact or proximity, a drilling charge according to the hollow charge principle, a guide housing for an axially guided additional charge arranged therein, a propellant charge for the additional charge and ignition means for triggering the borehole charge and the additional charge. The guide housing for the refill charge with the propellant charge is pressure-resistant due to the high pressure of the propellant charge and is therefore equipped with a relatively large weight. This warhead is therefore suitable for the destruction of aircraft runways in that the drilling charge creates a hole in the concrete slab, into which the additional charge penetrates and detonates in the hole.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE-C1 26 29 280 ein Gefechtskopf gegen Flugzeuge bekannt, die in Schutzräumen untergebracht sind. Es liegt bei diesem Gefechtskopf ein prinzipiell ähnlicher Aufbau als nach der US-PS 4,803,928 vor. Jedoch ist hierbei die von einer Teibladung angetriebene Nachschußladung zur Erhöhung der Trefferwahrscheinlichkeit als Splittergeschoß ausgebildet.Furthermore, a warhead against aircraft is known from DE-C1 26 29 280, which are housed in shelters. This warhead has a structure which is fundamentally similar to that described in US Pat. No. 4,803,928. However, the refill charge, which is driven by a partial charge, is designed as a fragmentary projectile to increase the probability of being hit.

Die bekannten Gefechtsköpfe eignen sich nicht für Kampfbereiche und Unterstände hinter Barrikaden, da zwar die aus heterogenem Material bestehenden Barrikaden durchschlagen werden, jedoch die Zündauslösung aufgrund der hohen kinetischen Energie des Gefechtskopfes nicht oder zu spät erfolgt.
Es liegt auf der Hand, aufgrund des neuen Zielkriteriums, das eine Barrikade darstellt, entsprechend auf die Sensorik des Zünders umzusetzen. Dies führt dann zu dem unbefriedigenden Teilergebnis, daß zwar die Barrikade von der Hohlladung perforiert wird, jedoch die Nachschußladung aufgrund ihrer Nachbeschleunigung nicht zur Wirkung gelangt.The known warheads are not suitable for combat areas and shelters behind barricades, since the barricades made of heterogeneous material are penetrated, but due to the high kinetic energy of the warhead, the triggering does not take place or takes place too late.
Due to the new target criterion, which represents a barricade, it is obvious to implement the sensor technology of the detonator accordingly. This then leads to the unsatisfactory partial result that, although the barricade is perforated by the shaped charge, the additional charge does not take effect due to its post-acceleration.

Deshalb ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung ein Geschoß zur Bekämpfung des Gegners in der Deckung zu schaffen, wobei unter Deckung Hausmauern, Barrikaden und Schutzwälle verstanden werden.Therefore, it is the object of the invention to create a projectile to combat the opponent in cover, whereby cover means house walls, barricades and protective walls.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem according to the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous further developments can be found in the subclaims.

Bei einem Kaliber von 90 mm für den Gefechtskopf schlägt die Hohlladung einen Kanal von ca. 50 - 60 mm Durchmesser durch das Ziel. Das Splittergeschoß dringt durch diesen Kanal in das Ziel ein und detoniert ca. 0,5 - 2,5 Meter hinter dem Ziel mit großer Splitterwirkung im angrenzenden Wirkbereich. Wesentlich ist, daß die Nachschußladung aufgrund ihrer Massenträgheit beim Aufschlag des Gefechtskopfes auf das Ziel nahezu ungebremst durch die Detonation der Hohlladung ihren Weg fortsetzt. Eine separate Beschleunigungsladung für die Nachschußladung ist daher nicht erforderlich. Diese erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme ermöglicht auf einfachem Wege die Nachschußladung in den vorgesehenen Wirkungsbereich -also ohne zusätzlichen mechanischen oder pyrotechnischen Aufwand- zu bringen.With a caliber of 90 mm for the warhead, the shaped charge hits a channel with a diameter of approx. 50 - 60 mm through the target. The fragmentary bullet penetrates the target through this channel and detonates approx. 0.5 - 2.5 meters behind the target with a large fragmentation effect in the adjacent effective area. It is essential that, due to its inertia when the warhead strikes the target, the additional charge continues on its way almost unchecked by the detonation of the shaped charge. A separate acceleration charge for the additional charge is therefore not necessary. This measure according to the invention enables the additional charge to be loaded in a simple manner to bring them into the intended area of action - without additional mechanical or pyrotechnical effort.

Nach dem Anspruch 2 ist der Gefechtskopf universell sowohl für harte Ziele z. B. Mauerwerk als auch für nicht harte Ziele, wie Sandsäcke oder Erdaufschichtungen einsetzbar.According to claim 2, the warhead is universal for both hard targets. B. masonry can also be used for non-hard targets such as sandbags or earth layers.

Ein kostengünstiger und mit geringem Gewicht ausgestatter Gefechtskopf liegt nach dem Anspruch 3 vor. Dadurch ist der Gefechtskopf sowohl von mechanisierten Startgeräten als auch von der Schulter mittels einer Panzerfaust zu starten.An inexpensive warhead equipped with little weight is present according to claim 3. This allows the warhead to be launched from mechanized launchers as well as from the shoulder using a bazooka.

Eine kostengünstige Einlage für die Hohlladung ist nach dem Anspruch 4 gegeben.An inexpensive insert for the shaped charge is given according to claim 4.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigt Figur 1 einen Gefechtskopf im Längsschnitt

Der Zünder 2 weist in nicht näher gezeigter Weise zwei Sensoren auf. Der eine Sensor ist als Piezosensor für harte Ziele z. B. Mauerwerk und der andere Sensor ist für nicht harte Ziele z. B. für Sandsäcke, Erde, Holz ausgelegt. In der Transportstellung ist der Sensor gemäß Figur 2 in der ballistischen Haube 3 versenkt angeordnet. Im Gefechtsfall ist der Sensor gemäß Figur 1 in Arbeitsstellung fixiert.Es kann auch ein Annäherungszünder vorgesehen sein.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing. Figure 1 shows a warhead in longitudinal section
2 shows a bazooka with the warhead according to FIG. 1
Figure imgb0001

A warhead 1 consists of an axially extendable detonator 2 of a ballistic hood 3, a cylindrical jacket 4 with a cone 5 on the rear side and a pick-up sleeve 6,
a hollow charge 10 with a safety device 11, an additional charge 20 with a guide tube 21 and a support collar 22, as well as a perforated plate 23 and a safety device 25 integrated at the rear in the additional charge 20 with a pyrotechnic delay detonator 28.
The igniter 2 has two sensors in a manner not shown. One sensor is used as a piezo sensor for hard targets. B. masonry and the other sensor is for non-hard targets such. B. designed for sandbags, earth, wood. In the transport position, the sensor according to FIG. 2 is arranged sunk in the ballistic hood 3. In the event of a battle, the sensor according to FIG. 1 is fixed in the working position. A proximity fuse can also be provided.

Die Hohlladung 10 besteht aus einem separatem Gehäuse 12, das über einen Kupplungsring 13 mit dem Mantel 4 fest verbunden ist. Im Hohlladungsgehäuse 12 sind die Sicherungsvorrichtung 11, eine Sprengladung 14 und eine Flachkegeleinlage 15 aus Aluminium befestigt.The shaped charge 10 consists of a separate housing 12 which is fixedly connected to the jacket 4 via a coupling ring 13. The safety device 11, an explosive charge 14 and a flat cone insert 15 made of aluminum are fastened in the shaped charge housing 12.

Die Nachschußladung 20 besteht aus einer Splitterhülle 26 und aus Sprengstoff 27 und der Sicherungsvorrichtung 25.The additional charge 20 consists of a fragment shell 26 and of explosive 27 and the safety device 25.

Nach Figur 2 ist der Gefechtskopf 1 gemäß Figur 1 an einer, von einem Gestell 29 abfeuerbaren Panzerfaustgranate 30 adaptiert. Die Panzerfaustgranate 30 besitzt ein Raketentriebwerk 31 und ausklappbare Flügel 32.According to FIG. 2, the warhead 1 according to FIG. 1 is adapted to a rocket-propelled grenade 30 that can be fired from a frame 29. The bazooka grenade 30 has a rocket engine 31 and fold-out wings 32.

Eine weitere Granate 40 weist nach Figur 3 den Gefechtskopf 1 mit Flügeln 32 und Raketentriebwerk 31 auf.According to FIG. 3, a further grenade 40 has the warhead 1 with wings 32 and rocket engine 31.

Beim Abschuß des Gefechtskopfes 1 mit der Granate 40 wird diese auf eine Abgangsgeschwindigkeit von ca. 270 m/s beschleunigt.When the warhead 1 is fired with the grenade 40, the grenade 40 is accelerated to a departure speed of approximately 270 m / s.

Nach einer Flugstrecke von fünf Metern entsichert die Sicherungsvorrichtung 11, so daß die Hohlladung 10 mit der Nachschußladung 20 zündbereit sind.After a flight distance of five meters, the safety device 11 unlocks, so that the shaped charge 10 with the additional charge 20 are ready to fire.

Beim Auftreffen des Gefechtskopfes 1 auf ein Ziel 50 gibt der Zünder 2 einen Zündimpuls an die Sicherungsvorrichtung 11. Diese zündet die Hohlladung 10, indem der Sprengstoff 14 die Einlage 15 zu einem nicht gezeigten Stachel umformt. Dieser Stachel durchschlägt bei einem Kaliber von 90 mm der Hohlladung 10 das Ziel 50 mit einer Stachelspitzengeschwindigkeit von ca. 6000m/s und erzeugt in dem Ziel einen Kanal 51
von ca. 50 bis 60 mm Durchmesser. Die Nachschußladung 20 dringt durch diesen Kanal in das Ziel ein und detoniert bei 52 ca. 0,5 bis 2,5 Meter hinter dem Ziel mit großer Splitterwirkung im angrenzenden Bereich. Zur Initiierung der Nachschußladung 20 wird zeitgleich mit der Zündung der Hohlladung 10 der Verzögerungsdetonator 28 der Nachschußladung 20 gezündet. Dieser Verzögerungsdetonator 28 zündet die Nachschußladung 20 ca. 12 ms danach.When the warhead 1 strikes a target 50, the detonator 2 sends an ignition pulse to the safety device 11. This ignites the shaped charge 10 by the explosive 14 reshaping the insert 15 into a spike (not shown). With a caliber of 90 mm of hollow charge 10, this spike penetrates target 50 with a spike tip speed of approx. 6000 m / s and creates a channel 51 in the target
50 to 60 mm in diameter. The refill charge 20 penetrates the target through this channel and detonates at 52 approximately 0.5 to 2.5 meters behind the target with a large splintering effect in the adjacent area. To initiate the additional charge 20, the delay detonator 28 of the additional charge 20 is ignited simultaneously with the ignition of the shaped charge 10. This delay detonator 28 ignites the post-charge 20 approximately 12 ms later.

Sowohl bei rechtwinkligem als auch bei schrägen Auftreffen des Gefechtskopfes 1 auf das Ziel 50 werden folgende Durchschlagsleistungen mit Splitterwirkung der Nachschußladung 20 erreicht:
   Betonmauern, Durchschlagsleistung ca. 40 cm
   Ziegelmauern, Durchschlagsleistung ca. 50 cm
   Holz, Durchschlagsleistung ca. 60 bis 80 cm
   Sandsäcke, Durchschlagsleistung ca. 50 bis 70 cm.Both when the warhead 1 hits the target 50 at right angles and at an angle, the following breakdown capacities with a splintering effect of the additional charge 20 are achieved:
Concrete walls, penetration approx. 40 cm
Brick walls, penetration approx. 50 cm
Wood, breakdown capacity approx. 60 to 80 cm
Sandbags, breakdown capacity approx. 50 to 70 cm.

Bei Maueröffnungen liegt die Wirkung im Ziel durch Detonation der Hohlladung 10 im Raum vor.When the wall is opened, the effect is present in the target by detonating the shaped charge 10 in space.

Der Gefechtskopf 1 ist universell einsetzbar. Er kann bei Geschützmunition oder bei Raketen verwendet werden, so z.B. bei einer gelenkten Panzerabwehrrakete, wie MILAN.The warhead 1 can be used universally. It can be used on gun ammunition or missiles, e.g. on a guided anti-tank missile like MILAN.
