Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tandem warhead according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Tandem warheads are primarily used to combat targets such as Tanks, which are equipped with so-called ERA boxes.
  • ERA boxes are explosive bodies which have the task of exploding when they hit a projectile, thereby minimizing the effect of the projectile.
  • a tandem warhead for example a a karooka
  • a tandem warhead for example a karooka
  • the pre-charge is ignited before the main charge and pre-damages the target, so that the delayed main charge is fully effective.
  • the main charge is ignited contactlessly by the precharge, specifically by light which is generated by the precharge when it detonates.
  • a photodiode is arranged in the circuit of the main charge detonator, which responds shortly after the precharge has detonated.
  • the main charge In order to achieve maximum damage to the target hit, the main charge must be detonated after a precisely determined point in time after the charge has detonated. This is achieved in DE-OS 41 30 646 by a delay part which is arranged in the circuit of the igniter of the main charge.
  • DE-OS 39 42 841 describes a tandem warhead of the aforementioned type, the main charge being a piezoelectric Has impact detonator.
  • Piezoelectric impact detonators essentially contain an electrical converter (impact sensor) for generating the ignition voltage and a detonator.
  • the ignition voltage for the detonator arises when a shock wave hits the impact sensor when it hits a target. Piezo elements are used as sensors. The main charge is therefore ignited without contact.
  • DE-A-36 05 580 also discloses that the precharge can be ignited in a tandem warhead by means of a piezoelectric impact detonator.
  • a piezoelectric impact igniter is e.g. in DE-PS 1 145 522 or US-PS 2,894,457.
  • EP-A1-0 497 394 of the generic type shows a tandem warhead with all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a tandem warhead according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the ignition takes place without contact, is absolutely reliable and two completely identical detonators are used to ignite the charges, which are separated as independent modules behind the charges without electrical connections are arranged one below the other and the detonation of the main charge takes place after a required delay time and the tandem warhead is cheaper to manufacture.
  • piezoelectric impact detonators Due to the use of piezoelectric impact detonators for both the pre-charge and the main charge, no mechanically movable parts are used for the ignition. In addition, two completely identical detonators are installed. As a result, the ignition device is safer and also simpler and therefore less expensive as no new official approval procedure is required. Piezoelectric impact detonators are characterized by their high reliability.
  • the duration of the shock wave until the main charge is ignited and thus the desired delay is determined by the housing construction, the arrangement of the detonators and the material composition of the housing in such a way that the housing of the tandem warhead is made of a magnesium alloy or an aluminum alloy, the housing construction being stiff and is formed without soft spots and the two detonators are arranged at a distance of 300 to 400 mm from one another, so that the shock wave from the detonator of the precharge to the detonator of the main charge has a running time of 100 to 150 microseconds.
  • the precharge together with its igniter is expediently arranged in a spacer which can be moved out of the housing in the direction of flight, the spacer consisting of two segments which can be pushed into one another.
  • the summons are seen in the direction of flight, in the foremost segment. Both segments can be inserted into the warhead housing.
  • both charges namely pre-charge and main charge
  • both charges are shaped charges, the tandem warhead preferably being used as a karoka.
  • the detonators are both piezoelectric impact detonators, e.g. are described in DE-PS 1 145 522 or US-PS 2,894,457.
  • Piezoelectric impact detonators essentially consist of an impact sensor, which conducts an ignition voltage to a detonator when the shock wave hits. The detonator then, as is known, detonates a primary charge by which the main charge or secondary charge is ignited. A delay charge can be arranged in the detonator.
  • the spacer advantageously has a front cap which is provided with a pulse damper. This makes the ignition less sensitive.
  • the first shock wave generated by the impact of the tandem warhead on a target in the piezoelectric impact detonator at the precharge or in the piezo element arranged therein has an electrical voltage of generated well over 500 V. This voltage is far higher than that required by the precharge detonator, so that the precharge is always fired safely and reliably.
  • the same first shock wave reaches the piezoelectric impact igniter of the main charge a little later. If the tandem warhead hit its target almost at right angles, the shock wave is intense enough that the voltage generated in the piezo element of the fuse belonging to the main charge is sufficient to ignite the associated detonator. However, if the tandem warhead hits a target at an acute angle, the intensity of the shock wave emanating from the impact is often not sufficient to generate sufficient voltage for the detonator in the piezo element of the main charge detonator.
  • the figure shows a tandem warhead with a main charge 2 arranged in a housing 5, which is designed as a hollow charge and has an insert 7 made of copper.
  • a piezoelectric impact igniter 4 is arranged at the rear end of the housing 5, which tapers there in a wedge shape.
  • a primary charge 8 and an inert body 9 are arranged as detonation wave guide between this igniter 4 and the main charge 2.
  • the housing 5 tapers and forms an annular opening there, which is designed as a spacer guide 10.
  • a spacer 6 is guided, which consists of two segments 6a, 6b and whose segment 6a is slidably mounted in the spacer guide 10.
  • the spacer 6 is dimensioned such that a shaped charge spike can form in the free space 11 above the insert 7.
  • the segment 6a of the spacer 6 can be locked in the extended state via a thread 12.
  • segment 6a segment 6b is guided, in which a precharge 1 with associated igniter 3 is arranged.
  • the primary charge for the pre-charge 1 is designated by the reference number 13. No detonation wave guide is provided.
  • the segment 6b can be inserted into the segment 6a of the spacer 6 and is provided with a thread 14 at its end facing the segment 6a.
  • a hemispherical cap 15 is placed on the segment 6a of the spacer 6. So that the ignition is not too sensitive, e.g. when streaking trees etc., the cap 15 is advantageously provided with a pulse damper, not shown.
  • an insert 16 is placed on the preload.
  • Both igniters 3, 4 are piezoelectric impact igniters. Since the duration of a shock wave strongly depends on the path length, the material composition and the construction of the housing 5, these variables influencing the delay time must be selected so that the delay time is within the desired range. If a longer delay time is required, a delay charge or a delay element can be installed in the main charge detonator.
  • the housing 5 of the tandem warhead is made of a light metal, i.e. a magnesium alloy or an aluminum alloy.
  • the runtime of the shock wave and the associated delayed ignition of the main charge 2 is, as already said, essentially determined by the material composition and the distance between the two igniters 3, 4 from one another. This distance is between 300 to 400 mm. This results in a transit time of the shock wave from igniter 3 to igniter 4 of 100 to 150 microseconds. So that the shock wave can penetrate into the detonator and trigger it, the detonator must be firmly connected to the housing.
  • the housing also has no soft spots that would dampen the shock wave, but is stiff so that the shock wave can propagate undamped.
