Abstract

Ein Gefechtskopf (1) mit großer Splitterreichweite und großer Splitterenergie weist eine konkave Splittereinheit (6) auf Die Splittereinheit (6) ist sprengstoffbeschleunigt und enthält Kugeln (10) zwischen zwei Blechen (11, 12). Die Kugeln (10) sind in einem Metallpulver (13) eingebettet, wobei das Metallpulver (13) und die Kugeln (10) aus Wolfram-Schwermetall bestehen.

Figure 00000001
A warhead (1) with a large fragment range and large fragment energy has a concave fragment unit (6). The fragment unit (6) is accelerated by explosives and contains balls (10) between two sheets (11, 12). The balls (10) are embedded in a metal powder (13), the metal powder (13) and the balls (10) being made of tungsten heavy metal.
