Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kombinationsgefechtskopf gemäß dem Oberbergiff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a combination warhead according to the Oberbergiff of claim 1.

In der Anwendung als Lenkflugkörper-, Submunitions- oder sonstige Gefechtsköpfe befinden sich heute in der Mehrzahl spezielle, auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall optimierte Gefechtsköpfe. Dies sind zum Beispiel bei der Panzerabwehr, wo eine hohe Durchschlagsleistung gegenüber Panzerstahl (incl. ERA-Pakete) gefordert ist, die bekannten Hohlladungs-Systeme (HL-Systeme)Used as a guided missile, submunition or other Warheads are in the majority special, on the warheads optimized for each application. These are for Example in anti-tank defense, where high penetration compared to armored steel (including ERA packages), which known shaped charge systems (HL systems)

Für einen vergrößerten Bekämpfungsabstand, z.B. im Einsatz als Suchzünder-Munition, werden eher projektilbildende Ladungen (EFP-Ladung) mit reduzierten Durchschlagsleistungen gegenüber der Hohlladung verwendet. Auch Zwischenformen zwischen HL und EFP-Ladung sind bekannt (z.B.

Figure 00010001
Hemispheres").For an increased control distance, for example when used as search fuse ammunition, projectile-forming charges (EFP charges) with reduced penetration rates compared to the shaped charge are used. Intermediate forms between HL and EFP charge are also known (e.g.
Figure 00010001
Hemispheres ").

Zusätzlich zu diesen Ladungstypen kommen Splitterladungen zum Einsatz, entweder für sich alleine, wie z.B. in der Flugzielbekämpfung und gegen räumlich verteilte, halbharte Ziele (z.B. Radarstellungen, LKW's etc.), oder in Kombination mit den o.g. Gefechtskopftypen als sogenannte Mehrzweckgefechtskopfe'', wo die Bekämpfung der Panzerungen von der Hohl- oder projektilbildenden Ladung gewährleistet wird und die zusätzliche Bekämpfung ausgedehnter halbharter Ziele durch den additiven Splittermantel.In addition to these types of charges, splinter charges are used, either on their own, such as in the fight against flight targets and against spatially distributed, semi-hard targets (e.g. radar positions, trucks, etc.), or in combination with the above-mentioned warhead types as so-called Multi-purpose warheads '', where the fight against armouring is guaranteed by the hollow or projectile-forming charge and the additional fight against extended semi-hard targets by the additive fragment jacket.

Für die Bekämpfung einer weiteren Zielklasse, den harten Betonzielen wie Bunker, Shelter, Startbahnen etc. sowie von anderen Zielen, bei denen die Hauptwirkung erst nach Durchdringen einer ersten harten Schicht erzielt werden soll wie z.B. Schiffe, Kampfhubschrauber oder normale'' Ziele in Deckung '' innerhalb von Gebäuden eignen sich sog. Penetratorgefechtsköpfe. Dies sind mit Sprengstoff gefüllte und durch hohe Durchdringungsleistung ausgezeichnete Metallkörper, die erst nach dem Ein- oder Durchdringen ihre Druck- und Splitterwirkung abliefern.For fighting another target class, the hard concrete targets such as bunkers, shelters, runways etc. and other targets where the main effect should only be achieved after penetrating a first hard layer, such as ships, attack helicopters or normal '' goals in cover '' inside buildings are so-called penetrator warheads. These are metal bodies filled with explosives which are distinguished by their high penetration performance and which only give off their pressure and splintering effect after penetration or penetration.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen einzigen Gefechtskopf zu schaffen, der gleichzeitig eine hohe Durchschlagsleistung gegen Panzerstahl und ein hohes Penetrationsvermögen durch harte Schichten aufweist.The invention has for its object a single warhead to create that at the same time a high breakthrough performance Armored steel and high penetration through hard layers having.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the features of Claim 1 solved. Developments of the invention are in the Subclaims specified.

Bei neuen Flugkörperprogrammen ist zunehmend mehr als die Bekämpfung nur einer der o.g. Zielklassen gefordert. Die zugehörigen Gefechtsköpfe sollen gegen einen Mix'' verschiedenster Ziele gleichzeitig wirksam sein. Sie sollen dabei breit in den möglichen Anwendungsfällen aber aus logistischen und Kostengründen gering in der Typenvielfalt sein. Neben den bekannten Kombinationsgefechtsköpfen aus Hohlladung/EFP und Splitterladung wird hier ein vorteilhafter Gefechtskopftyp vorgeschlagen : der Hohlladungs/Penetrator-Kombinationsfechtskopf.New missile programs are increasingly demanding more than fighting only one of the above-mentioned target classes. The associated warheads are said to be against one Mix '' different goals to be effective at the same time. They should be wide in the possible applications, but for logistical and cost reasons be small in the variety of types. In addition to the known combination warheads made of shaped charge / EFP and fragmentary charge, an advantageous type of warhead is proposed here: the shaped charge / penetrator combination warhead.

Der prinzipielle Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Gefechtskopfes ist in Fig.1 dargestellt. Ein herkömmlicher Penetrator 1 mit optimierter Spitze und optimiertem Längen- zu Durchmesserverhältnis (L/D) ist nicht komplett mit Sprengstoff 2 gefüllt, sondern enthält an seiner Spitze einen zusätzlichen Hohlraum 3 zur Ausbildung eines Hohlladungsstachels. Dazu ist dieser Hohlraum 3 gegen den dahinterliegenden Sprengstoff 2 mit einer Hohlladungsauskleidung 4 abgetrennt. Die schockfeste Ausführung dieser Auskleidung sowie deren Abstützung an der Penetratorhülle 5 und die Sprengstoffverdämmung sind konstruktiv auf den Gefechtskopf abgestimmt.The basic structure of the warhead according to the invention is shown in Fig.1 shown. A conventional penetrator 1 with optimized Great and optimized length to diameter ratio (L / D) not completely filled with explosive 2, but contains on it Tip an additional cavity 3 to form a shaped charge spike. For this purpose, this cavity 3 is against the one behind it Explosives 2 separated with a shaped charge lining 4. The shockproof version of this lining and its support on the penetrator sleeve 5 and the explosives containment designed to match the warhead.

Eine SV (Sicherungsvorrichtung) 6 enthält u.a. die Zündstufe sowie als erste pyrotechnische Elemente der Zündkette den Detonator und ggf Übertrager- oder Verstärkerladungen.An SV (safety device) 6 contains, among other things. the ignition level as well as first pyrotechnic elements of the ignition chain the detonator and if necessary Transmitter or amplifier charges.

Ausgelöst wird der Kombinationsgefechtskopf wie folgt : bei der Bekämpfüng von gepanzerten Zielen wird im geeigneten Abstand durch den Abstandszünder die Ladung gezündet. Es bildet sich ein Hohlladungsstachel aus, der erst noch die Penetratorspitze durchdringen muß. Dann kann er ungehindert auf das Ziel einwirken und seine hohe Durchschlagsleistung in Panzerstahl abliefern ; bei der Bekämpfung von harten Schichtzielen wird nicht in, Abstand gezündet, sondern erst die Durchdringung (Penetration) zumindest der ersten harten Schicht abgewartet, bevor ein (ggf. intelligenter) Penetratorzünder (ebenfalls in der SV untergebracht) den geeigneten Zündzeitpunkt berechnet und der Gefechtskopf detoniert. Er kann als Nebeneffekt immer noch eine nach vorne gerichtete Hohlladungswirkung aufweisen, die aufgrund möglicher schockbedingter Verformungen der Auskleidung gegenüber einem nichtpenetrierenden, reinen HL-Gefechtskopf eingeschränkt sein kann, die Hauptwirkung wird in diesem Fall aber durch Druck- und Splittereffekte der Penetratorhülle erreicht.The combination warhead is triggered as follows: in the fight against armored targets is appropriate Distance ignited by the distance igniter the charge. It forms a shaped charge spike, which is still the tip of the penetrator must penetrate. Then he can act on the target unhindered and deliver its high penetration in armored steel; when fighting hard shift targets is not in, distance ignited, but only the penetration (penetration) at least waiting for the first hard shift before a (possibly more intelligent) Penetrator detonator (also housed in the SV) the suitable one The ignition timing is calculated and the warhead detonates. He can be as Side effect is still a forward shaped charge effect have due to possible shock-related Deformation of the lining compared to a non-penetrating, pure HL warhead may be restricted, the main effect is in this case, however, by pressure and splinter effects Penetrator shell reached.

Neben diesem in Fig.1 gezeigtem Grundprinzip sind in Fig.2 bis Fig.13 mögliche Ausgestaltungen dieses Konzepts dargestellt, die eine Realisierung erleichtern bzw. je nach Zielanforderung die Optimierung von Hohlladungs- oder Penetratorleistung ermöglichen. Sie sind insofern als exemplarisch zu sehen, als auch andere Kombinationen der verschiedenen konstruktiven Maßnahmen, als die gerade zeichnerisch dargestellten, eine sinnvolle Gefechtskopfauslegung ergeben.In addition to this basic principle shown in Fig.1 are in Fig.2 to Fig.13 possible configurations of this concept are shown, the one Facilitate implementation or, depending on the target requirements, optimization enable shaped charge or penetrator performance. You are in that sense to be seen as exemplary, as well as other combinations of different constructive measures than the one currently being drawn shown, result in a sensible warhead design.

In Fig.2 ist die Möglichkeit einer passiven Detonationswellenlenkung 7 für die Ausbildung eines optimalen Hohlladungsstachels dargestellt. Solche Maßnahmen können wichtig sein, weil einerseits für den Penetrator 1 ein großes Länge/Durchmesserverhältnis (L/D) von ca. 4...8 günstig ist, andererseits für die reine Hohlladung ein L/D von ca. 1 das Optimum darstellt. Die passive Detonationswellenlenkung 7 kann diese gegenläufigen Forderungen in bestimmten Grenzen ausgleichen. Wenn diese passive Maßnahme nicht ausreicht, kann durch die Wahl eines oder mehrerer näher an der Auskleidung liegenden Detonationsortes, z.B. mit zusätzlichem Detonator 8, für die Betriebsart Hohlladung'' deren Leistung im Sinne einer aktiven Detonationswellenlenkung'' erhöht werden; siehe Fig.3.2 shows the possibility of passive detonation wave steering 7 for the formation of an optimal shaped charge spike. Such measures can be important because on the one hand a large length / diameter ratio (L / D) of approx. 4 ... 8 is favorable for the penetrator 1, and on the other hand an L / D of approx. 1 is the optimum for the pure hollow charge. The passive detonation wave steering 7 can compensate for these opposing demands within certain limits. If this passive measure is not sufficient, the choice of one or more detonation sites closer to the lining, for example with an additional detonator 8, can be used for the operating mode Shaped charge '' their performance in the sense of a active detonation wave steering '' can be increased; see Fig. 3.

Fig.4 zeigt eine weitere Maßnahme zur Verbesserung der HL-Leistung. Der Gefechtskopf ist in unterschiedliche Kompartments 9 und 10 aufgeteilt, die je nach Betriebsart unterschiedlich gezündet werden.Figure 4 shows another measure to improve HL performance. The warhead is in different compartments 9 and 10 divided, which are ignited differently depending on the operating mode.

In Fig.5 ist exemplarisch dargestellt, daß die Hohlladungsauskleidung 4 auf die spezielle Anwendung im Kombinationsgefechtskopf gegenüber einer reinen, nicht penetrierenden Hohlladung hinsichtlich Position, Material, Wandstärke, Öffnungswinkel etc. optimiert ist. Sie berücksichtigt auch die besondere L/D-Situation im Kombinationsgefechtskopf sowie die stärkere Verdämmung der Ladung durch die Penetratorhülle 5.5 shows an example that the shaped charge lining 4th to the special application in the combination warhead a pure, non-penetrating shaped charge with regard to position, Material, wall thickness, opening angle etc. is optimized. It takes into account also the special L / D situation in the combination warhead and the greater insulation of the load by the penetrator casing 5.

Grundsätzlich kann eine hohe Durchschlagsleistung gegen Panzerstahl nicht nur durch eine Hohlladung, sondern in abgeschwächter Form auch durch EFP-Ladungen oder durch Zwischenformen zwischen beiden Ladungstypen erreicht werden. In Fig.6 ist exemplarisch die Auskleidung 11 einer EFP-Ladung aufgezeigt.Basically, a high penetration rate against armored steel not only through a shaped charge, but also in a weakened form by EFP charges or by intermediate forms between the two Charge types can be achieved. The lining is exemplary in FIG 11 of an EFP charge.

Ein Haupthindernis für die Ausbildung eines stabilen Hohlladungsstachels stellt die Penetratorspitze selbst dar. Durch geeignete Maßnahmen ist einerseits die Durchdringung durch den HL-Stachel zu erleichtern, andererseits muß die mechanische Stabilität der Spitze zur Erzielung der Penetrationsleistung gewährleistet sein. Fig.7 zeigt eine zur Lösung dieses Problems geeignete Ausbildung der Pentratorspitze, die eine innere Aushöhlung 12 in der Spitze aufweist.A major obstacle to the formation of a stable shaped charge spike represents the penetrator tip itself. By means of suitable measures on the one hand to facilitate penetration through the HL spike, on the other hand, the mechanical stability of the tip has to be achieved Penetration performance can be guaranteed. Fig. 7 shows a solution to this Problems appropriate training of the pentrator tip, which an inner Has cavity 12 in the tip.

Wenn die Maßnahme gem. Fig.7 nicht ausreicht, um eine Beeinträchtigung des Hohlladungsstachels durch die Penetratorspitze hinreichend gering zu halten, kann durch eine weitere Maßnahme, wie z.B. das Zünden einer Vor-Hohlladung 13, kurz vor Zielerreichung eine Öffnung in die Penetratorspitze gesprengt werden. Diese Ladung räumt auch andere vor dem Penetrator angeordnete Komponenten des Lenkflugkörpers, wie z.B. die Suchkopfelektronik, aus dem Weg und sichert die Ausbildung eines ungestörten HL-Stachels. In Fig.8 ist diese Möglichkeit aufgezeigt.If the measure according to Fig. 7 is not sufficient to impair of the shaped charge spike through the penetrator tip can be kept low by another measure, e.g. the Ignition of a pre-shaped charge 13, an opening shortly before reaching the target be blasted into the tip of the penetrator. This cargo also clears other components of the guided missile arranged in front of the penetrator, such as. the seeker electronics out of the way and secure the formation of an undisturbed HL spine. In Fig. 8 this is Possibility shown.

In Fig 9 ist eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einer abtrennbaren Penetratorspitze gezeigt, wobei die Abtrennmittel 14 prinzipiell vor der Zielannäherung wirksam werden, um mit dem Gefechtskopf eine ungehinderte Hohlladungswirkung zu erzielen.9 shows a further development of the invention with a separable one Penetrator tip shown, the separation means 14 in principle the target approach to take effect with the warhead to achieve unhindered shaped charge effect.

Fig.10 stellt eine Möglichkeit dar, die Stabilität des Penetrators zu erhöhen, indem der Hohlraum 3 vor der Hohlladungsauskleidung mit einem inkompressiblen Medium 15 ausgefüllt ist. Bei der Betriebsart Penetrator'' verleiht dieses Material dem Penetrator erhöhte Festigkeit, in der Betriebsart Hohlladung'' kann es abgelassen werden oder mit dem Abtrennen der Penetratorspitze entfernt werden Dieses Medium kann bei geeigneter Ausgestaltung u.U. auch noch eine Sekundärwirkung wie z.B. Brand o.ä. verursachen.FIG. 10 represents a possibility of increasing the stability of the penetrator by filling the cavity 3 in front of the shaped charge lining with an incompressible medium 15. In the operating mode Penetrator '' gives this material increased strength in the operating mode Hollow charge '' it can be drained off or removed by separating the penetrator tip.With a suitable design, this medium may also have a secondary effect such as fire or the like. cause.

Zur Steigerung der Splitterwirkung kann eine vorbehandelte Penetratorhülle 16 verwendet sein, die vorgeprägt oder anderweitig derart vorbehandelt ist, daß die natürlichen Splitter der Hülle vordefinierte Geometrien aufweisen. Dies ist in Fig.11 dargestellt. Auch hier ist eine Anpassung des Optimums hinsichtlich Penetratorleistung (glatte Hülle) oder Splitterleistung (geprägte Hülle) möglich.A pretreated penetrator sleeve can be used to increase the splintering effect 16 can be used, which are pre-embossed or otherwise is pretreated that the natural splinters of the shell predefined Have geometries. This is shown in Fig.11. Here is one too Adjustment of the optimum with regard to penetrator performance (smooth casing) or splinter performance (embossed shell) possible.

Fig.12 zeigt, daß in dem erfindungsgemäßen Gefechtskopf auch innenliegende, vorgeformte Splitter 17 verwendet werden können, um die Splitterwirkung zu optimieren. Die bewußt unterbrochen gezeichneten Splitterreihen sollen symbolisieren, daß auch Muster'' zwischen vorgeformten und natürlichen Hüllen-Splittern zur Optimierung der Wirkung im Ziel verwendet werden können.12 shows that internal, preformed splitters 17 can also be used in the warhead according to the invention in order to optimize the splintering effect. The deliberately broken lines of fragments are intended to symbolize that too Pattern '' between preformed and natural shell splinters can be used to optimize the effect on the target.

In Fig.13 ist ein außenliegender Splittermantel 18 dargestellt, der die Splitterwirkung bei der Abstandszündung erhöht, aber auch vor der Detonation der Ladung durch ein Abtrennmittel 19 abgetrennt werden kann, wenn dies zur Vermeidung von Kollateralschäden notwendig sein sollte.In Fig.13 an outer fragment jacket 18 is shown, the Splintering effect increases with distance ignition, but also before Detonation of the charge can be separated by a separating means 19 can, if necessary to avoid collateral damage should be.

Es sei betont, daß auch alle anderen Kombinationen der voranstehend beschriebenen Maßnahmen als die gezeichneten möglich sind (z.B. abtrennbare Penetratorspitze mit außenliegendem Splittermantel o.ä.)It should be emphasized that all other combinations of the above measures described as possible are possible (e.g. detachable penetrator tip with external splinter jacket or similar)
