Definitions
- the field of the present invention is that of perforation projectiles, in particular anti-tank or anti bunkers projectiles.
- Such projectiles can be fired from a tank cannon or from light recoilless weaponry.
- a rod preferably of heavy material such as tungsten
- a shaped charge comprising a coating which is transformed into a jet by the detonation of an explosive.
- Patent US4463678 for example describes a hybrid projectile comprising at its front part a tungsten alloy bar and at its rear part a hollow charge.
- Such a projectile is difficult to manufacture since it requires the production of a cavity of large dimensions inside the bar.
- the invention aims in particular to propose a projectile having improved perforation performance while being easy to manufacture and retaining a limited bulk.
- the invention also relates to a munition equipped with such a projectile.
- the subject of the invention is a perforation projectile comprising a rod and a charge formed consisting of an envelope containing an explosive charge, a coating and a priming device, projectile characterized in that at least a part of the rod is disposed at inside the explosive charge.
- the bar is coaxial with the envelope and extends inside the latter up to the coating.
- the charge formed is a charge generating the core and the bar, coaxial with the envelope, crosses the coating.
- the bar extends outside the envelope at a rear part of the latter and carries a stabilization device.
- the initiating device will advantageously be annular and will include a plate, inclined relative to the axis of the envelope, plate intended to be projected onto the explosive charge by the detonation of a priming explosive tablet.
- the projectile may include an impact switch disposed at the end of a warhead.
- It may include a proximity detector disposed at the end of a warhead.
- the invention also relates to an ammunition in which the projectile is integral with a cartridge case containing a propellant charge.
- the invention also relates to a munition in which the projectile is integral with a propellant and in which the bar has a rear part which extends inside the propellant.
- the propellant may comprise several nozzles regularly distributed angularly and integral with a lateral surface of the propellant, these nozzles being inclined relative to an axis of the ammunition.
- the charge 3 formed here is a hollow charge, it comprises in a known manner a casing 4 of light alloy (such as an aluminum alloy) inside which is placed an explosive charge 5 on which is disposed a coating 6 made of ductile material (for example copper).
- a casing 4 of light alloy such as an aluminum alloy
- an explosive charge 5 on which is disposed a coating 6 made of ductile material (for example copper).
- the projectile also includes a warhead 9 made of light alloy which carries an impact switch 10 at its front end.
- the impact contactor is connected by wires (not shown) to an annular priming device 7 which is crossed by the bar 2. This priming device will be described more precisely below.
- the bar 2 comprises a front part 2a which is located inside the explosive charge 5.
- the bar 2 thus extends by a length L1 inside the envelope 4.
- the bar carries at its rear part a stabilization device 8, for example a tail.
- this projectile is as follows. On impact on a target, the contactor 10 causes, via the annular initiation 7, the initiation of the charge formed 3 at an optimal distance given by the warhead 9.
- the perforation of the target is increased by the action of the bar 2 made of heavy material.
- a front part of the bar being disposed inside the explosive charge, it is thus possible to design a projectile comprising a longer bar, therefore more effective from the point of view of perforation, without modifying the total length L2 of the projectile.
- FIG. 2 shows a projectile according to such a variant.
- Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the projectile according to the invention.
- the charge formed 3 is a charge generating a core, that is to say a charge whose coating 6 is deformed by the detonation of the explosive charge 5 so as to constitute an aerodynamically stable projectile.
- the initiation of the explosive charge is caused by a proximity detector 11 placed at the end of the warhead 9 and connected by wires (not shown) to the initiating device 7.
- the proximity detector is for example of the passive infrared type or of the radar type.
- the bar 2 passes through the covering 6.
- Such an embodiment makes it possible to increase the terminal efficiency of the projectile because it allows the installation of a rod of considerable length.
- the bar thus plays the role of a cylindrical mandrel around which the core will elongate, a tubular core is thus obtained which has great stability on trajectory.
- FIG. 4 schematically represents a first embodiment of the initiating device 7 for the explosive charge 5.
- This device comprises a safety and arming device 14 of known type comprising in particular an energy source (not shown) and a primer 13 with electrical initiation which is carried by a flap 15.
- the flap is shown in this figure in the armed position, the primer is then located opposite a primer explosive tablet 12 (for example hexogen / wax).
- a primer explosive tablet 12 for example hexogen / wax.
- the tablet is annular, it has a cylindrical shape limited by a plane 12a inclined relative to the axis of the tablet (which coincides with the axis of the envelope 4).
- the primer is positioned substantially at the level of an external generator 27 of the tablet 12.
- the generator 27 is the shortest generator of this tablet taking into account the inclined plane 12a.
- the tablet 12 is separated from the explosive charge by a free space 17 and a plate 16.
- the plate is substantially parallel to the inclined plane 12a, it is made of a material of the copper or stainless steel type.
- the free space 17 is delimited on the one hand by the plate 16 and on the other hand by a flat surface 5a of the explosive charge 5, surface perpendicular to the axis of the explosive charge.
- the free space 17 will preferably be lined with a block of compressible foam in order to ensure rigidity of the assembly while allowing projection of the plate 16 on the explosive charge during the initiation of the initiating explosive. 12.
- foam One type of foam that can be used is described by patent FR9003998.
- a disc 18 is placed between the tablet 12 and the plate 16. It is made of flexible material, for example rubber, and comes into contact with the bar 2 on the one hand and the casing 4 on the other hand.
- the function of the disc 18 is to provide a seal between the tablet and the explosive charge by preventing the passage of gases resulting from the initiation of the tablet towards the explosive charge 5.
- the priming device is assembled by stacking the various components.
- the foam block, the plate 16, the disc 18 and the tablet 12 are joined together by bonding.
- a compact assembly is thus obtained which is easily placed in the envelope 4.
- This assembly is then immobilized axially. by the security and arming device 14 which is itself made integral with the casing 4, for example by threading.
- the operation of the priming device 7 is as follows.
- the primer After arming the security and arming device 14, the primer adopts the position shown in FIG. 4.
- the proximity detector 11 (or the impact switch 10) causes the initiation of the primer 13.
- the latter detonates the initiation composition 12.
- the detonation wavefront progresses in the tablet 12 with a substantially spherical shape centered on the primer 13.
- This wavefront will cause the projection of the plate 16 on the flat face 5a of the explosive charge 5 and the initiation of the latter.
- the inclination of the plate with respect to the axis of the tablet 12 is chosen so that the whole of the plate 16 comes to impact on the surface 5a at the same time.
- the explosive charge 5 is therefore initiated with a substantially planar detonation wave.
- primers regularly distributed angularly around the bar 2. These primers will all be initiated at the same time by means of an appropriate electronic system and they will generate in the tablet 12 a substantially planar wave.
- the tablet 12 will then not have an inclined face 12a and may come directly into contact with the flat face 5a of the explosive charge 5.
- FIG. 5 diagrammatically represents a second embodiment of the device for initiating the explosive charge 5.
- This device comprises a safety and arming device 14 of known type comprising in particular an energy source (not shown) and a primer 13 with electrical initiation which is carried by a flap 15.
- the flap is shown in this figure in the armed position, the primer is then located opposite a first priming relay 30.
- This first relay is connected by means of detonating cords 31 to four secondary ignition relays 32 disposed in a support plate 33.
- the four secondary relays are regularly distributed angularly around the bar as can be seen in FIG. 5a.
- the support plate is in contact with an annular tablet of initiating explosive 12 (for example hexogen / wax), itself compressed in contact with the explosive charge 5.
- initiating explosive 12 for example hexogen / wax
- the four detonating cords 31 are substantially the same length in order to ensure simultaneous initiation of the four secondary relays 32 by the primary relay 30.
- the cords 31 will be embedded in a resin 34 which will fill the entire space separating the security and arming device 14 from the support plate 33.
- the priming device is assembled by stacking the various components.
- the operation of the priming device 7 is as follows.
- the primer After arming the security and arming device 14, the primer adopts the position shown in FIG. 5.
- the proximity detector 11 (or the impact switch 10) causes the initiation of the 'primer 13.
- the latter detonates the primary relay 30 which simultaneously initiates the four secondary relays 32.
- the latter initiate the initiating composition 12 which in turn will initiate the explosive charge 5 with a substantially planar detonation wavefront.
- FIG. 6 schematically represents an ammunition cartridge, for example a large caliber ammunition for tank, ammunition comprising a projectile according to the invention.
- the ammunition comprises in known manner a socket 19 (for example a combustible socket) which carries at its rear part a metal base 21 on which is fixed an igniter tube 22.
- a socket 19 for example a combustible socket
- carries at its rear part a metal base 21 on which is fixed an igniter tube 22.
- the socket contains a propellant charge 20, for example made up of grains of powder based on nitrocellulose.
- a propellant charge 20 for example made up of grains of powder based on nitrocellulose.
- the ammunition 1 according to the invention is made integral with the socket for example by means of a connection ring of the type described in patent FR8712484.
- the rear part of the bar 2 which carries the tail unit 8 penetrates deeply into the propellant charge.
- FIG. 7 schematically represents an ammunition of the rocket type comprising a projectile according to the invention.
- the projectile 1 is made integral with a propellant 23 which comprises a case 24 (for example made of composite material) inside which a block of propellant 25 is disposed.
- the case carries at its rear part a nozzle 26 disposed along the axis of the munition.
- An ignition device not shown, ensures ignition of the propellant block in known manner when the rocket is fired.
- the bar 2 does not have a tail since the projectile 1 and propellant 23 assembly remains integral throughout the trajectory of the ammunition.
- the propellant block comprises a housing inside which comes a rear part 2b of the bar 2. The latter thus extends inside the propellant over a length D1.
- the bar can thus extend substantially up to the nozzle 26.
- the invention thus authorizes the design of extremely compact ammunition and comprising very long kinetic bars.
- This rocket-type ammunition can be fired from a recoilless launcher or from an aircraft.
- FIG. 8 shows a second variant of rocket comprising a projectile according to the invention.
- the nozzle 26 is replaced here by four nozzles 26a, 26b, 26c and 26d which are arranged on the cylindrical lateral surface of the case 24 and form an angle with the axis 28 of the ammunition.
- the advantage of such a configuration is that it authorizes the installation of a longer bar which can extend to the bottom 29 of the case 24 and possibly which can cross this bottom and carry a tail.
