Abstract

Es liegt ein Gefechtskopf vor, der zwischen Sprengladung und Splitterhülle (1) einen Ringraum (2) aufweist. Darin befinden sich zur definierten Splitterbildung aus dem Hüllenmaterial gesonderte Einlageelements (3). Letztere sind dabei vollständig von durchgehenden, strukterbildenden Freiräumen (4) gleicher radialer Ausdehnung begrenzt.

Figure 00000001
A warhead is present which has an annular space (2) between the explosive charge and the shell (1). There are separate insert elements (3) for the defined formation of splinters from the casing material. The latter are completely delimited by continuous, structure-forming free spaces (4) of the same radial extent.
