Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Laufkörper zum Zerstören von Unterwasserstrukturen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a barrel body for destroying underwater structures according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der US-A-2 348 240 ist eine Mehrfachbombe zum Zerstören von Strukturen von Kampfmitteln, wie Bauwerken, bekannt. Die Mehrfachbombe ist aus einem Flugzeug ausbringbar und weist eine Vielzahl von Einzelbomben auf. Die Einzelbomben sind auf Abstand miteinander verbunden und bekämpfen das Ziel über wenigstens ein Linienraster, wobei dieses Linienraster Bestandteil eines Gitters eines Flächenrasters ist.US-A-2 348 240 discloses a multiple bomb for destroying structures of Weapons of war, such as structures, are known. The multiple bomb is from an airplane deployable and has a large number of individual bombs. The single bombs are on Linked together and fight the target via at least one line grid, wherein this line grid is part of a grid of a surface grid.

Eine ebenfalls von einem Flugzeug abwerfbare Mehrfachbombe zum Zerstören von Unterwasserstrukturen ist aus der GB-A-0 63 65 bekannt. Die Einzelbomben sind auf Abstand miteinander verbunden und bekämpfen ein Ziel gitterförmig.A multiple bomb that can also be dropped from an airplane to destroy Underwater structures are known from GB-A-0 63 65. The single bombs are on Spaced together and fight a target like a grid.

Aus der US-A-3 306 199 sind miteinander verbundene, sprengfähige Tandemladungen bekannt. Diese sind Bestandteile einer Flugzeugbombe.From US-A-3 306 199 are interconnected, explosive tandem charges known. These are part of an aircraft bomb.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen wassergängigen Laufkörper zum Zerstören von Unterwasserstrukturen, von Schiffen, Kampfmitteln, wie Torpedos, Minen vorzuschlagen, der mit geringem Sprengstoffaufwand eine große Vernichtungswahrscheinlichkeit aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a water-resistant barrel to destroy Propose underwater structures, from ships, weapons, such as torpedoes, mines, to the has a high probability of destruction with low explosives.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. The invention solves this problem according to the characterizing features of Claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the dependent claims remove.

Erfindungsgemäß ist in erster Linie vorgesehen, das Ziel durch Beschädigung kampfunfähig zu machen. Die Vernichtung des Ziels durch Detonation ist nicht angestrebt. Durch die etwa flächenmäßige oder linienförmige Anordnung der auf Abstand liegenden Wirkladungen am Ziel bzw. im Laufkörper liegt eine große Wahrscheinlichkeit vor, das Ziel zu treffen und so zu beschädigen, dass es als Waffe nicht mehr einsetzbar ist. According to the invention it is primarily provided that the target is unable to fight due to damage close. The aim is not to destroy the target by detonation. By about planar or linear arrangement of the spaced active charges on There is a high probability of hitting the target and thus in the target damage that it can no longer be used as a weapon.

Bei Wirkkörpern, die zur Bekämpfung des Ziels ein Flächenraster bilden, zeigt die Normale des Flächenrasters auf das Ziel. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß die Beschädigung des Ziels etwa im Maximum der sich überlagernden Detonationswellen der Wirkkörper liegt und somit das Ziel außer Gefecht gesetzt wird.
Dementsprechend sind die in Form von Bändern vorliegenden Sprengladungen, die zusammengefaßt eine Fläche bilden bzw. in einer Ebene liegen entsprechend auf das Ziel auszurichten, um denselben Effekt zu erreichen.
Gleiches gilt für die in einem Linienraster in einem Laufkörper angeordneten Wirkkörper. Durch die Steuerung des Laufkörpers ist zu gewährleisten, daß dieser etwa parallel zu der bekämpfenden Fläche des Zieles anläuft oder bei einer Winkellage sichergestellt ist, daß die Wirkrichtungen der Wirkladung auf das Ziel zeigen.In the case of active bodies which form a surface grid to combat the target, the normal of the surface grid points to the target. This ensures that the damage to the target lies approximately in the maximum of the overlapping detonation waves of the active bodies and the target is thus incapacitated.
Accordingly, the explosive charges in the form of tapes, which together form a surface or lie in one plane, must be aligned accordingly with the target in order to achieve the same effect.
The same applies to the active bodies arranged in a line grid in a running body. By controlling the barrel it is to be ensured that it runs approximately parallel to the fighting surface of the target or, at an angular position, that the directions of action of the active charge point to the target.

Nach den Figuren 1 und 2 bewegt sich ein selbstangetriebener, flügelstabilisierter Laufkörper 1 im Wasser 2 in Pfeilrichtung 3. Eine Ortungseinrichtung 4 stellt eine eingesandete Mine 5 fest und veranlaßt durch Öffnung von Klappen 6 den Ausstoß von gitterförmig angeordneten Wirkkörpern 10 mit gegenseitigem Abstand 13 entsprechend den Fig. 3 und 4.According to Figures 1 and 2, a self-propelled, wing-stabilized Running body 1 in the water 2 in the direction of the arrow 3. A locating device 4 provides a sanded mine 5 and causes the opening by opening flaps 6 of lattice-shaped active bodies 10 with a corresponding spacing 13 accordingly 3 and 4.

In der Transportlage sind die Wirkkörper 10 zu einem platzsparenden Paket 14 zusammengeklappt.In the transport position, the active bodies 10 form a space-saving package 14 folded.

Die Wirkkörper 10 werden gemäß Fig. 2 als Paket 14 aufgrund eines nicht dargestellten Ausstoßmechanismus aus dem Laufkörper 1 ausgestoßen oder aufgrund der Schwerkraft fallengelassen. Der Laufkörper 1 entfernt sich dann von der Mine 5. The active bodies 10 are shown in FIG. 2 as a package 14 due to a not shown Ejection mechanism ejected from or due to the barrel body 1 gravity dropped. The barrel 1 then moves away from the mine 5th

Die Wirkkörper 10 sind in der Paketform dicht aneinander liegend, jedoch durch, in Rohren 11 geführten, vorgespannte Zugfedern 12 so miteinander verbunden, daß - gemäß Fig. 4 - im entfalteten Zustand sich eine plattenförmige also etwa ebene Gitterstruktur ergibt und decken das Ziel 5 in Form eines Flächenrasters 9 großflächig ab.The active bodies 10 are close together in the package form, but by guided in tubes 11, prestressed tension springs 12 connected so that - According to Fig. 4 - in the unfolded state, a plate-shaped, ie approximately flat Grid structure results in and cover the target 5 in the form of a surface grid 9 over a large area from.

Die gezeichnete Rechteckform sowie die Anzahl der Wirkkörper 10 sind ohne weiteres an das Ziel anpaßbar. So sind außer der gezeichneten Viereckstruktur der Wirkkörper Dreieck- oder Mehreckstrukturen möglich. Auch kann die Gitterstruktur 9 mehrfach gestapelt sein, sodaß zwei oder mehrere Schichten von Wirkkörpern 10 das Ziel 5, z. B. zeitverzögert, bekämpfen.The rectangular shape shown and the number of active bodies 10 are without further adaptable to the target. So, in addition to the square structure shown, the Triangular or polygonal structure possible. Also the lattice structure 9 be stacked several times, so that two or more layers of active bodies 10 the goal 5, e.g. B. delayed combat.

Entsprechend den Fig. 1 und 4 paßt sich die gitter- oder schachbrettförmige Struktur der Wirkkörper 10 an die Form des Meeresbodens 15 an in dessen Bereich das Ziel, also die Mine 5, geortet ist.1 and 4, the lattice or checkerboard shape fits Structure of the active body 10 to the shape of the seabed 15 in its area the target, mine 5, is located.

Die gitterförmig aufgefaltete Wirkstruktur der Wirkkörper 10 ist gleichmäßig am Boden verteilt. Sie ist großflächig bei reproduzierbarer Anordnung der Wirkkörper 10.The active structure of the active bodies 10, which is unfolded in a lattice shape, is uniformly on Floor distributed. It has a large area with a reproducible arrangement of the active bodies 10th

Die Wirkkörper 10 sind jeweils mit nicht gezeichneten Sprengladungen und Zündern bzw. mit Splitterladungen versehen.The active bodies 10 are each with explosive charges and detonators, not shown or provided with fragmentary charges.

Durch die Zünder werden die Wirkkörper 10 gleichzeitig initiiert. Es entsteht eine weitgehend ebene Druckwelle 16 aufgrund der kumulierten, einzelnen Druckwellen 17 der detonierenden Wirkkörper 10.The active bodies 10 are initiated simultaneously by the detonators. There is one largely flat pressure wave 16 due to the accumulated, individual pressure waves 17 of the detonating active bodies 10.

Die weitgehend ebene Druckwelle 16 im Meeresboden 15 besitzt aufgrund der am Meeresboden 15 aufliegenden Wirkkörper 10 eine große Tiefenwirkung bei relativ geringem Energieverlust.The largely flat pressure wave 16 in the seabed 15 has due to the Seabed 15 overlying active bodies 10 have a large depth effect at relative low energy loss.

Bei Detonation der Wirkkörper 10 sind die Kolatteralschäden durch die am Boden anliegenden Gitterstruktur 9 relativ gering. Daraus resultiert, daß die Bodengeometrie nicht oder nur geringfähig bei Detonation der Gitterstruktur 9 verändert wird. When the active bodies 10 detonate, the colatteral damage is caused by those on the ground adjacent lattice structure 9 is relatively small. As a result, the floor geometry is not changed or only slightly changed upon detonation of the lattice structure 9.

Dies ist besonders dann wichtig, wenn diese Anordnung - schwebfähig gemacht - gegen Schiffe, Hafenanlagen, etc. eingesetzt wird.This is particularly important if this arrangement - made floating - against ships, port facilities, etc.

Die Wirkkörper 10 können als reine Detonationskörper aber auch als Detonationskörper mit Splitterwirkung ausgebildet sein. Aufgrund der Gitterstruktur der Wirkkörper 10 ist gewährleistet, daß die Mine 5 mehrfach aufgerissen wird, so daß der Mantel der Mine 5 eine Verdämmung nicht mehr besitzt.The active bodies 10 can be used as pure detonation bodies or as detonation bodies be designed with splintering effect. Due to the lattice structure of the The active body 10 ensures that the mine 5 is torn open several times, so that the casing of mine 5 no longer has a dam.

Bei dem Laufkörper 50 nach Fig. 5 wird bei Sensierung eines Ziels 51 durch die Ortungseinrichtung 4 der Laufkörper 50 durch einen nicht gezeigten Magnetsensor oder eine Videokamera in die winkelgerechte Lage gedreht, so daß die in einem Linienraster 49 liegenden Wirkkörper 52 entweder auf das Ziel 51 oder vor das sich bewegende Ziel 51 gefeuert werden. Der Start der im Abstand 13 angeordneten Wirkkörper 52 aus den Abschußvorrichtungen 53 erfolgt entweder gleichzeitig oder nacheinander. Dies gilt auch für die Zündung der Sprengladungen 54 der Wirkkörper 52. Daraus folgt, die Sprengladung 54 ist in unmittelbarer Zielnähe 51. Der Sprengstoffbedarf ist daher für die gleiche Wirkung eines nicht gezeichneten Wirkkörpers mit einer einzigen Sprengladung geringer.In the running body 50 according to FIG. 5, when a target 51 is sensed by the Location device 4 of the running body 50 by a magnetic sensor, not shown or rotated a video camera in the angular position, so that in one Line grid 49 lying active body 52 either on the target 51 or in front of that moving target 51 are fired. The start of the spaced 13 Active body 52 from the launching devices 53 is carried out either simultaneously or one after the other. This also applies to the ignition of the explosive charges 54 Active body 52. It follows that the explosive charge 54 is in the immediate vicinity of the target 51. The explosives requirement is therefore not drawn for the same effect as one Active body with a single explosive charge less.

Zur Bekämpfung des Ziels 51 entsprechend der Fig. 6 weist ein Laufkörper 55 sogenannte Tandem-Wirkkörper 56 auf Diese werden entsprechend dem zu Fig. 5 beschriebenen Funktionsprinzip auf das Ziel 51 abgeschossen, entweder nacheinander oder gleichzeitig. Jeder Wirkkörper 56 besitzt eine Hohlladung 57 und einen nachschießbaren Widerhaken 58, der durch eine Ladung 59 in das von der Hohlladung 57 im Ziel 51 gebohrte Loch 60 einschießbar ist. Nach dem Verhaken der Widerhaken 58 im Ziel 51 wird durch eine Einhohlwinde 61 der Laufkörper 55 an das Ziel 51 herangezogen und anschließend zur Beschädigung oder zur Vernichtung des Zieles 51 eine Sprengladung 62 gezündet. Auch hier ist der Sprengstoffbedarf zur Beschädigung des Ziels 51 gering. Außerdem wird durch das Andocken des Laufkörpers 55 an dem Ziel 51 bzw. das Beschädigen der Außenhaut des Zieles 51, das ein Torpedo sein kann, aus seiner Richtung wirkungsvoll abgelenkt, da es strömungsmäßig einseitig belastet ist.To combat the target 51 according to FIG. 6, a running body 55 So-called tandem active bodies 56 on these are made according to the FIG. 5 described operating principle shot on target 51, either one after the other or at the same time. Each active body 56 has a shaped charge 57 and one re-shootable barb 58, which by a charge 59 into the hollow charge 57 in the target 51 drilled hole 60 can be shot. After snagging the Barb 58 in target 51 is driven by a hollow winch 61 of barrel 55 the target 51 used and then for damage or destruction the target 51 detonated an explosive charge 62. Here too is the need for explosives low to damage target 51. In addition, by docking of the barrel 55 on the target 51 or the damage to the outer skin of the target 51, which can be a torpedo, effectively distracted from its direction because it is loaded on one side in terms of flow.

Nach den Fig. 7 und 8 sind bei einem Laufkörper 70 neben der Ortungseinrichtung 22 aufklappbare ¼-Schalen 71 vorgesehen. Zur Bekämpfung des Zieles 51 wird der Laufkörper 70 nahe an dieses gefahren und die Schalen 71 aufgeklappt. Die Schalen 71 sind mit Sprengstoffschichten 72 ausgekleidet. Spiegelbildlich dazu verbleibt im Laufkörper 70 eine sogenannte Hauptladung 73, ebenfalls aus Sprengstoff. Die Schalen 71 werden durch einen nicht gezeigten Mechanismus in der Winkellage 74 arretiert, so daß bei gleichzeitiger Zündung des Sprengstoffs 72 und der Hauptladung 73 eine, in Richtung auf das Ziel 51 gerichtete, hohlladungsähnliche Wirkung vorliegt.7 and 8 are in a barrel 70 next to the locating device 22 hinged 1/4 shells 71 are provided. To combat target 51 will the barrel 70 moved close to this and the shells 71 opened. The Shells 71 are lined with layers of explosives 72. In mirror image a so-called main charge 73 also remains in the barrel 70 Explosive. The shells 71 are closed by a mechanism not shown in FIG the angular position 74 is locked so that when the explosive 72 is simultaneously ignited and the main charge 73 a shaped charge similar to the target 51 Effect is present.

Als Alternative können die Schalen 71 aus dem sogenannten Memory-Metall bestehen. Durch die Eigenschaft des Memory-Metalls wird erreicht, daß die gebogenen Schalen 71 ebenmäßig flächig gestreckt - also im entriegelten Zustand nicht mehr gekrümmt - sind.As an alternative, the shells 71 can consist of the so-called memory metal. The property of the memory metal ensures that the bent Shells 71 evenly stretched flat - not in the unlocked state are more curved.

Der Öffnungswinkel der Schalen 71 kann - abhängig von der Bekämpfungsentfernung oder anderen Kriterien - angepaßt werden. Der Fokus ist also variabel einstellbar.The opening angle of the shells 71 can - depending on the control distance or other criteria - be adjusted. The focus is therefore variably adjustable.

Nach den Fig. 9, 10 besteht ein Laufköprer 20 aus mehreren, in dem Linienraster 49 liegenden Wirkkörpern 21 und einer Ortungseinrichtung 22 im Antriebsteil 23. Nach Ortung eines nicht dargestellten Ziels wird kurz vor der Zielbegegnung der Verbund aufgelöst. Die Wirkkörper 21 werden durch eine Rückstoßeinrichtung 24 am vorderen Wirkkörper 21 auf Abstand 13 auseinandergezogen und bleiben jedoch durch Seile oder teleskopierbare Stangen 25 miteinander verbunden. Bei gleichzeitiger Detonation der Wirkkörper 21 entsteht eine quasi linienförmige Welle mit zylinderformiger Druckausbreitung. So lange der Abstand Ziel zu Wirkkörper und der Abstand der beiden äußersten Wirkkörper 21 von einer gleichen Größenordnung ist, ist der das Ziel erreichende Drucksprung wesentlich höher als der einer sogenannten Punktladung. Eine derartige Punktladung ist dadurch definiert, daß eine einzige Punktladung dieselbe Sprengstoffmenge aufweist, wie die Wirkkörper 21 zusammen.9, 10, a Laufköprer 20 consists of several, in the line grid 49 lying active bodies 21 and a locating device 22 in the drive part 23. After locating a target, not shown, the Association dissolved. The active bodies 21 are activated by a recoil device 24 pulled apart on the front active body 21 at a distance of 13 and remain connected to each other by ropes or telescopic rods 25. at simultaneous detonation of the active bodies 21 creates a quasi-linear shape Shaft with cylindrical pressure spread. As long as the distance from target to active body and the distance of the two outermost active bodies 21 from the same one Order of magnitude, the pressure jump reaching the target is much higher than that of a so-called point charge. Such a point charge is defined by that a single point charge has the same amount of explosives as the Active body 21 together.

Bei dem Laufkörper 30 nach den Fig. 11, 12 werden die im Heck und/oder radial hintereinander gestapelten Wirkkörper 31, 32 jeweils in Reihen hintereinanderliegend kurz von der Zielbegegnung ausgestoßen. Die Wirkkörper 31 hängen jeweils an einem Seil 33 auf Abstand 13. 11, 12 are in the rear and / or radial active bodies 31, 32 stacked one behind the other in rows one behind the other briefly expelled from the target encounter. The active bodies 31 each hang on a rope 33 at a distance of 13.

Die Wirkung dieser Wirkkörper 31, 32 ist identisch zu der vorbeschriebenen Wirkung zum Laufköper 20. Allerdings ist hier der Abstand 13 der Wirkkörper 31, 32 und/oder ihre Anzahl nicht durch die Stabilität des Laufkörpers 30 begrenzt; d. h. prinzipiell kann der Abstand 13 der Wirkkörper 31, 32 und ihre Anzahl voll auf die geforderte Druckverteilung bspw. in dem Linienraster 49 oder dem Flächenraster 9 optimiert werden.The action of these active bodies 31, 32 is identical to the action described above to the running body 20. However, here the distance 13 of the active bodies 31, 32 and / or their number is not limited by the stability of the running body 30; d. H. in principle, the distance 13 of the active bodies 31, 32 and their number can be fully limited to that required pressure distribution, for example in the line grid 49 or the surface grid 9 be optimized.

Bei dem Laufkörper 35 nach Fig. 13 sind Wirkkörper 36 an Drehlagern 34 schwenkbar gelagerten Armen 37 kammartig im Laufkörper 35 angeordnet. Beim Ausschwenken der Wirkkörper 36 bleibt ein Wirkkörper 38 im Laufkörper 35. Wesentlich ist hierbei, siehe auch die folgende Fig. 14, daß die Wirkkörper 36, 38 in einer einzigen Ebene liegen, so daß analog zur gitterförmigen Struktur 9 der Wirkkörper 10 nach Fig. 4 eine weitgehend flächenmäßig ebene Druckwelle 16 erzeugt wird.13 there are active bodies 36 on pivot bearings 34 pivoted arms 37 arranged comb-like in the barrel 35. At the The active body 36 remains pivoted out of an active body 38 in the running body 35. It is essential here, see also the following FIG. 14, that the active bodies 36, 38 lie in a single plane, so that analogous to the lattice-like structure 9 of the 4 a largely flat pressure wave 16 is produced.

Nach Fig. 14 sind in einem Laufkörper 45 Wirkkörper 46 im Ausgangszustand jeweils als Doppelpack 47 angeordnet. Jeder Wirkkörper 46 ist mit einem schwenkbaren Arm 37 verbunden.14, active bodies 46 are in the starting state in a running body 45 each arranged as a double pack 47. Each active body 46 is with one pivotable arm 37 connected.

Entsprechend den Fig. 15 - 17 sind bei einem Laufkörper 40 mit der Vortriebrichtung 3 in einer einzigen Ebene ausklappbare Arme 41 vorgesehen. Die Arme 41 und der Laufkörper 40 enthalten Zündmechanismen 42 und nicht näher gezeigte Kassetten mit zieharmonikaförmig gefalteten Bändern 43. Die Bänder 43 bestehen aus einer Sprengstoffolie eingeschlossen von einer dünnen Kunststoffhülle 27 oder von zwei Trägerfolien 28.15-17 are with a barrel 40 with the drive direction 3 arms 41 which can be folded out in a single plane are provided. The arms 41 and the barrel 40 contain ignition mechanisms 42 and not shown Cassettes with concertina-folded tapes 43. The tapes 43 are made from an explosive foil enclosed by a thin plastic cover 27 or of two carrier films 28.

In der Nähe eines nicht gezeigten Zieles werden die Arme 41 in die gemäß Fig. 16 gezeigte Position ausgeklappt. Die Wasserströmung oder ein Federmechanismus sorgen für das Ausstoßen der Bänder 43.In the vicinity of a target, not shown, the arms 41 are moved into the position shown in FIG. 16 position shown unfolded. The flow of water or a spring mechanism ensure that the tapes 43 are ejected.

Eine Bremsschirm bzw. Drachen 44 gemäß Fig. 17 sorgt für den vollständigen Auszug der Bänder 43 und deren Ausrichtung bzw. Stabilisierung. Die Windungen des Bandes 43 sind durch beidseitig liegende Folien 28 abgedeckt. Damit liegt im Transportzustand ein Reibungsschutz vor und ein Verkleben während der Lagerung wird verhindert. A brake parachute or kite 44 according to FIG. 17 ensures the complete Extraction of the tapes 43 and their alignment or stabilization. The turns of the band 43 are covered by films 28 lying on both sides. With that lies in Transport condition a friction protection before and sticking during storage will be prevented.

Ein derartiges Band 43 ist auch im Heckbereich des Laufkörpers 40 vorgesehen.Such a band 43 is also provided in the rear area of the running body 40.

Die Funktion entspricht den Wirkkörpern 10 gemäß Fig. 1, d. h., es wird durch gleichzeitige Zündung der etwa eine Fläche bildenden Bänder 43 in gleicher Weise eine weitgehende ebene Druckwelle 16 am Ziel erreicht.The function corresponds to the active bodies 10 according to FIG. 1, i. that is, it is through simultaneous ignition of the bands 43 forming an area in the same way a largely flat pressure wave 16 is reached at the destination.

Ein sehr einfaches Verfahren, Energie in ein schwingungsfähiges System zu bringen ist die Erregung in der Resonanzfrequenz des Zieles 5, 51. Schon relativ kleine Sprengladungen können das Ziel 5, 51 - seine äußere Struktur oder seine Einbauten, z. B. elektronische Bauteile, Leitungen, ... zerstören. Das gilt speziell auch im Wasser.A very simple process to bring energy into an oscillatory system is the excitation in the resonance frequency of the target 5, 51. Already relatively small Explosive charges can target 5, 51 - its outer structure or internals, z. B. destroy electronic components, lines, ... This is especially true in Water.

Wartet man mit dem Zünden der zweiten Ladung bzw. des zweiten Wirkkörpers der Wirkkörper 10; 21; 31; 32; 36; 38; 43; 46; 54 bis die Kavitationsblase des zuerst gezündeten Wirkkörpers wieder zusammengebrochen ist, kann man nicht nur die Höhe der Belastung des Ziels 5, 51 durch die Masse des zuerst gezündeten Wirkkörpers, sondern auch die Dauer seiner Belastung fast beliebig erhöhen.Wait until the second charge or the second active body is ignited the active body 10; 21; 31; 32; 36; 38; 43; 46; 54 to the cavitation bubble of the first ignited active body collapsed, you can not only the amount of load on target 5, 51 by the mass of the first ignited Active body, but also increase the duration of its load almost arbitrarily.
