Abstract

To remove means of combat such as mines and unexploded ordnance increasing use is made of hollow charges. Inherent in these is the risk of triggering premature ignition since their liners contain metals. According to the invention a hollow charge (4) suitable for eliminating means of combat is configured largely free of metals and has a liner (3) made of an electrically non-conductive, amorphous material. The material of choice is glass, which when configured correspondingly in addition has a projectile-forming effect and thus raises penetration capability. Apart from lowering environmental pollution the use of metal-free devices also eliminates false alarm messages in metal detectors during mine clearance and therefore significantly improves the safety of mine clearance personnel. The support (16) carrying the hollow charge (4) is fitted with a ball joint (13, 14), resulting in high adaptability to the place of use and type of combat means (M) concerned.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Beseitigung von Kampfmitteln Weapon disposal device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Beseitigung von Kampfmitteln, wie von Minen, Blindgängern und nicht identifizierten Sprengobjekten, durch gezieltesThe present invention relates to a device for the removal of weapons, such as mines, unexploded ordnance and unidentified explosive devices, by targeted
Sprengen, bestehend aus einem Munitionskörper mit Kunst - stoffgehäuse, welcher eine Hohlladung enthält, die durch einen einstellbaren Support auf das zu beseitigende Kampfmittel richtbar und durch eine Zündschnur oder Fernsteue- rung initiierbar ist.Blowing up, consisting of an ammunition body with a plastic housing, which contains a shaped charge which can be directed at the weapon to be removed by means of an adjustable support and initiated by means of a fuse or remote control.
Es ist das erklärte Ziel von zahlreichen Staaten und humanitären Organisationen die zahllosen über den Erdball verstreuten Minenfelder zu räumen und die noch an allen ehemaligen Kriegsschauplätzen vorhandenen Blindgänger zu spren- gen.It is the declared goal of numerous states and humanitarian organizations to clear the countless minefields scattered across the globe and to blow up the unexploded ordnance that still exists at all former theaters of war.
Die frühere Praxis, Minen und Blindgänger mittels anderer Kampfmittel zu sprengen hat sich als sehr gefährlich und oft auch als unwirksam erwiesen. Die fortwährende Entwicklung und der Einsatz von Näherungs-, Erschütterungs- , und auf Magnetfeldänderungen ansprechenden Zündern erschwert die Minenräumung gewaltig und verteuert sie ins Unermessli- che .The previous practice of blowing up mines and unexploded ordnance using other weapons has proven to be very dangerous and often ineffective. The continuous development and use of proximity, vibration and detonators that respond to magnetic field changes make mine clearance extremely difficult and make it immeasurably more expensive.
Es wurden deshalb Vorrichtungen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 entwickelt und erprobt, welche auf Distanzen von einigen Zentimetern bis mehrere Metern Entfernung ein Sprengen der Kampfmittel erlauben. Dabei wurden die Vorrichtungen relativ metallarm ausgestaltet und meist fernbedient ausgelöst. Bei dieser Art von Kampfmittelbeseitigung (Abkürzung: KMB) oder englisch EOD (Explosive Ordonance Disposal Systems) genannt, besteht aber immer noch die Gefahr einer vorzeitigen Auslösung, beispielsweise durch ein Ansprechen von in Minen enthaltenen elektromagnetischen Sensoren, durch die in der KMB vorhandenen Metallteile und/oder durch resultierende Feldänderungen, insbesondere durch ein Bewegen der Sprengladungen mit ihren eingelegten metallischen Auskleidungen .Devices have therefore been developed and tested according to the preamble of claim 1, which allow a detonation of the weapon at a distance of a few centimeters to several meters. The devices were designed to be relatively low in metal and mostly triggered remotely. With this type of ordnance disposal (abbreviation: KMB) or English EOD (Explosive Ordonance Disposal Systems), there is still the danger of premature triggering, for example due to the response of electromagnetic sensors contained in mines, through the metal parts and in the KMB / or by resulting field changes, in particular by moving the explosive charges with their inserted metallic linings.
Zusätzlich verursachen diese Auskleidungen, besonders wenn sie aus Schwermetallen bestehen, weitere Emissionen, vor allem in Gebieten mit hoher Minendichte und belasten die Fauna, Flora, Böden und die Grund- und Oberflächenwässer ganz beträchtlich und dauerhaft.In addition, these linings, especially if they are made of heavy metals, cause further emissions, especially in areas with high mine density and pollute the fauna, flora, soils and groundwater and surface water quite considerably and permanently.
Bei der Räumung von Minenfeldern hat es sich zudem wiederholt gezeigt, dass diese Schwermetalle - auch nach erfolgter Sprengung von Minen - Minensuchgeräte initiieren und somit zu Fehlanzeigen führen. Dadurch wird die Erkennungs- rate bei der Räumung reduziert; in der Folge ist die Si- cherheit des Minenräumungspersonals - zusätzlich zur nicht eliminierbaren Gefahr - nochmals enorm herabgesetzt.When clearing minefields, it has repeatedly been shown that these heavy metals - even after mines have been blown - initiate mine detectors and thus lead to false alarms. This reduces the detection rate when clearing; as a result, the safety of the mine clearance personnel - in addition to the risk that cannot be eliminated - is again enormously reduced.
Gleichzeitig soll der Gegenstand zur Beseitigung von Sprengkörpern, welche beispielsweise aus Gründen der Sicherheit nicht identifizierbar sind, dienen. Auch sollen damit Blindgänger sicher und umweltfreundlich gesprengt werden und zu Fehlanzeigen bei der Minenräumung führen.At the same time, the object is intended to remove explosive devices which, for example, cannot be identified for reasons of security. Duds are also to be blown up safely and in an environmentally friendly manner and lead to false indications in mine clearance.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine gefahrlos funktionierende Vorrichtung zur Kampfmittelbeseiti- gung zu schaffen, welche die vorerwähnten Nachteile nicht aufweist, metallfrei ist und eine präzise vom Kampfmittel distanzierte Zerstörung bzw. eine vereinfachte Beseitigung ermöglicht. Die zu schaffenden KMB ' s sollen keine Stoffe enthalten, die massgeblich die Umwelt zusätzlich belasten können .It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for the disposal of ordnance which functions safely and which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above has, is metal-free and enables precise distancing from the ordnance or simplified disposal. The KMBs to be created should not contain any substances that can significantly pollute the environment.
Im weiteren soll die Vorrichtung, möglichst kostengünstig und mit an sich bekannten, modernen Fabrikationsmitteln in grossen Serien herstellbar sein.Furthermore, the device should be able to be produced in large series, as inexpensively as possible and with modern manufacturing means known per se.
Der eine KMB tragende Support soll eine hohe Anpassungsfä- higkeit an den Einsatzort und an die Art des Kampfmittels aufweisen und ebenfalls metallfrei sein.The KMB support is said to be highly adaptable to the location and type of weapon and should also be metal-free.
Alle verwendeten Materialien sollen ausserdem eine niedrige, relative Dielektrizitätskonstante aufweisen, um auch sensible elektronische Sensoren, die auf allgemeine Feld- Änderungen ansprechen, nicht auszulösen.All materials used should also have a low, relative dielectric constant in order not to trigger sensitive electronic sensors that respond to general field changes.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Kunststoffgehäuse peripher eine Sprengladung aufnimmt und stirnseitig die Auskleidung der Hohlladung abstützt, dass die Auskleidung aus einem nicht galvanisch leitenden, amorphen erk- Stoff besteht, dass das Kunststoffgehäuse mit einem Deckel aus Kunststoff abgeschlossen ist, welcher eine Zündkapsel/- Zündkettte oder eine Zündschnur aufnimmt, und dass am Deckel und/oder am Kunstoffgehäuse mechanische Mittel angebracht sind, welche die Hohlladung ausrichtbar halten und mit ihrem Support verbinden lassen.This object is achieved in that the plastic housing receives an explosive charge on the periphery and supports the lining of the shaped charge on the end face, that the lining consists of a non-galvanically conductive, amorphous material, that the plastic housing is closed with a plastic cover, which is a primer / - Detonating chain or detonating cord, and that mechanical means are attached to the cover and / or to the plastic housing, which hold the shaped charge in an adjustable manner and allow it to be connected to its support.
Überraschender Weise können Hohlladungen mit amorphen, nicht galvanisch leitenden Auskleidungen, Minen und Blind- ganger bis zu einer Entfernung von mehreren Metern sicher zünden oder zumindest unschädlich machen.Surprisingly, shaped charges with amorphous, non-galvanically conductive linings, mines and blind ignite ganger safely up to a distance of several meters or at least render it harmless.
Der Erfindungsgegenstand wird vorteilhafter Weise durch die am Deckel und/oder am Gehäuse angebrachten Mittel auf das Ziel (Kampfmittel) ausgerichtet, wobei aber das eigentliche Richten durch an sich bekannte mechanische und/oder optische Geräte erfolgt .The subject of the invention is advantageously aimed at the target (weapon) by means attached to the cover and / or the housing, but the actual straightening is carried out by mechanical and / or optical devices known per se.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass zur Kampfmittelbeseitigung bereits geringe Energien ausreichen, nämlich deshalb, weil es in den meisten Fällen genügt das Gehäuse und/oder die Zündkette des gefährdenden Munitionskörpers mittels einer Hohlladung anzubohren und nicht wie bisher angenommen, diesen notwendiger Weise zur Explosion oder mindestens zur Deflagration zu bringen.It has been shown that even low energies are sufficient to dispose of the ordnance, because in most cases it suffices to drill into the housing and / or the ignition chain of the dangerous ammunition by means of a hollow charge and not, as previously assumed, necessarily to explode or at least to deflagrate.
Aufgrund dieser Erkenntnis lassen sich auch relativ grosse Kampfmittel mit geringem technischen und finanziellen Aufwand beseitigen, d.h. soweit unschädlich machen, dass sie gefahrlos, beispielsweise durch ein anschliessendes gezieltes Verbrennen, vernichtbar sind.Based on this knowledge, even relatively large weapons can be eliminated with little technical and financial effort, i.e. make it so harmless that they can be safely destroyed, for example by subsequent targeted burning.
Als Werkstoffe für die Auskleidungen sind nach heutiger Erkenntnis technisches Glas, aber auch organisches Glas, Keramiken, insbesondere Aluminiumoxid sowie zahlreiche Kunst¬ stoffe mit relativ hoher Dichte wie Polytetrafluoräthylen und Polypropylen geeignet. Der Begriff eines nicht galva- nisch leitenden amorphen Werkstoffs, d.i. kein elektrischer Leiter, schliesst auch Glasmischungen ein, denen Metalle oder Metalloxide soweit zugesetzt wurden, dass die Gläser nichtleitend bleiben und somit von üblichen Metetalldetek- toren von Minen nicht erfasst werden und diese nicht auslösen.Suitable materials for liners according to current knowledge, technical glass and also organic glass, ceramics, in particular aluminum oxide, and numerous art ¬ materials with relatively high density, such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polypropylene suitable. The term a non-galvanically conductive amorphous material, ie no electrical conductor, also includes glass mixtures to which metals or metal oxides have been added to such an extent that the glasses remain non-conductive and are therefore free from conventional metal detection. gates are not detected by mines and do not trigger them.

Besonders einfach lässt sich die Montage der KMB durch die konstruktive Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 11 realisieren.The assembly of the KMB can be realized particularly easily by the structural design according to claim 11.
Die Ausführungsform nach Anspruch 12 ergibt eine Klemmwirkung, welche die Montage nochmals erleichtert.The embodiment according to claim 12 results in a clamping effect, which makes assembly even easier.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist das Einsetzen einer Zündvorrichtung in einen Hohlzylinder nach Anspruch 13.Inserting an ignition device into a hollow cylinder according to claim 13 is particularly advantageous.

Die Strahlrichtung des Hohlladungsstrahls ist mit S bezeichnet; die schematisch dargestellte Mine mit M.The beam direction of the shaped charge beam is denoted by S; the schematically represented mine with M.
Eine Initiierung I der KMB nach Fig. 1 erfolgt durch Einsetzen einer Zündvorrichtung 28, Fig. 2 mit deren hülsenartig ausgebildetem Zündkanal 7 in die geschlitzte Schutz- kappe 20 im hohlzylindrischen Aufsatz 27. Die Hohlräume in der Zündvorrichtung 28 und im Zündkanal 7 sind durch einen üblichen Sekundärsprengstoff wie Hexogen oder Octogen ausgefüllt und leiten die Detonation axialsymmetrisch in die Sprengladung 2.The KMB according to FIG. 1 is initiated by inserting an ignition device 28, FIG. 2 with its sleeve-like ignition channel 7 into the slotted protective cap 20 in the hollow cylindrical attachment 27. The cavities in the ignition device 28 and in the ignition channel 7 are through one conventional secondary explosives such as hexogen or octogen and conduct the detonation axially symmetrically into the explosive charge 2.
Oberhalb des Zündkanals 7 befindet sich eine an sich bekannte Zündkapsel 6, welche im Zünder-Gehäuse 8 seitlich gefasst und fixiert ist.Above the ignition channel 7 there is a known ignition capsule 6, which is laterally gripped and fixed in the igniter housing 8.
Die Initiierung der Hohlladung 4, Fig. 1, erfolgt durch ein Einlegen einer Zündschnur in zwei einander gegenüberlie- gende seitliche Ausnehmung 8a im Zünder-Gehäuse 8. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Lasche 11 von einem Nippel lla abgezogen und ein an einer Biegelasche 10 befestigter Deckel 9 geöffnet. Nach dem Einführen der Zündschnur, wird der Deckel 9 geschlossen und die Lasche 11 über den Nippel lla gezogen und dadurch fixiert.The hollow charge 4, FIG. 1, is initiated by inserting an ignition cord into two opposing lateral recesses 8a in the igniter housing 8. For this purpose, a tab 11 is pulled off a nipple 11a and a tab attached to a bending tab 10 Lid 9 opened. After inserting the fuse, the lid 9 is closed and the tab 11 is pulled over the nipple 11a and thereby fixed.
Eine analoge Hohlladung 4 ist nach Fig. 3 auf eine Bombe B gerichtet, wobei jedoch hier ein elektrisches Zündkabel 29 mit einem endseitigen Glühzünder 29a mit einem entfernt aufgestellten Zündgenerator 30 verbunden ist.An analog shaped charge 4 is directed towards a bomb B according to FIG. 3, but here an electrical ignition cable 29 is connected to an ignition generator 30 located at the end with a remote ignition generator 30.
In Fig. 4 ist ein Support 23 dargestellt, welcher der erleichterten Ausrichtung der KMB dient. Im Support 23 befin- den sich drei Bohrungen 24 in welche beliebig lange Stütz - Stäbe 25 mit Sollbruchstellen 26 einschiebbar sind.4 shows a support 23 which serves to facilitate the alignment of the KMB. In the support 23 there are three bores 24 into which support rods 25 with predetermined breaking points 26 of any length can be inserted.
Wie der Fig. 4 zu entnehmen ist, erlaubt der Support 23 eine Einstellung der Strahlrichtung S der Hohlladung 4 auf das zu vernichtende Kampfmittel . - Durch einen optimalen Einsatz der potentiellen Strahlleistung können mittels kleiner KMB ' s auch grosse Objekte gesprengt werden, vor allem, wenn die Strahlrichtung S auf wenigstens einen Teil der Zündkette des Kampfmittels gerichtet wird.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the support 23 allows the beam direction S of the shaped charge 4 to be adjusted to the weapon to be destroyed. - By optimal use of the potential beam power, small objects can also be blasted using small KMBs, especially if the beam direction S is directed at at least part of the detonating chain of the weapon.
Während in Fig. 1 eine einfach herzustellende, konische Auskleidung 3 aus Industrieglas, in Verbindung mit einer Sprengladung 2 aus einem notorisch bekannten Sekundär- Sprengstoff Verwendung findet, ist in Fig. 5 eine projektilbildende, kalottenförmige Auskleidung 3' vorgesehen.While in FIG. 1 an easily manufactured, conical lining 3 made of industrial glass is used in connection with an explosive charge 2 made of a notoriously known secondary explosive, in FIG. 5 a projectile-forming, dome-shaped lining 3 'is provided.
Zur Zündung der ebenfalls aus Octogen bestehenden Sprengla- düng 2 ' ist eine an sich ebenfalls bekannte Booster-Ladung 22 aus Hexogen (engl. RDX) oder Octogen (engl. HMX) eingesetzt, was eine verbesserte Ausrichtung der Detonationswelle in Richtung des höchsten Punkts der Kalotte der Auskleidung 3 ' ergibt .A booster charge 22 made of hexogen (RDX) or octogen (HMX), which is also known per se, is used to ignite the explosive charge 2 ', which also consists of octogen, which improves the alignment of the detonation wave in the direction of the highest point of the Dome of the lining 3 'results.
Der Aufbau der Hohlladung 4' entspricht grundsätzlich demjenigen der vorgängig beschriebenen Hohlladungen 4, Fig. 1. Aus Stabilitätsgründen sind jedoch der Kugel-Träger 12' und die Kugel 13' auf einer umlaufenden Spannbride 21 am zylindrischen Teil der Hohlladung 4' angebracht.The structure of the shaped charge 4 'basically corresponds to that of the previously described shaped charges 4, Fig. 1. For reasons of stability, however, the ball carrier 12' and the ball 13 'attached to a circumferential clamping bracket 21 on the cylindrical part of the shaped charge 4'.
Die Darstellung Fig. 6 zeigt den Ausformungsvorgang der Auskleidung 3' in ihrem zeitlichen Ablauf. Daraus erkennt man, dass nach 10 μs die Kalottenform der Auskleidung 3 ' nur noch andeutungsweise vorhanden ist und nach 20 μs sich in ein Projektil zu verformen beginnt, welches nach 80 μs, d.h. nach einer Wegstrecke von weniger als 12 cm bereits endgültig geformt ist und eine hohe Bohrleistung, d.i. eine hohe Durchdringung im Ziel bewirkt.The illustration in FIG. 6 shows the shaping process of the lining 3 'in its chronological sequence. From this it can be seen that after 10 μs the dome shape of the lining 3 'is only hinted at and that after 20 μs it begins to deform into a projectile which after 80 μs, i.e. after a distance of less than 12 cm has already been finally formed and a high drilling capacity, i.e. high penetration in the target.
In den beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen wurden handelsübliche Kunststoffe verwendet, so bestehen die Gehäuse 4, 4' aus glasfaserverstärktem PBT (Polybutyleneterephthalat) ; die Deckel 5, 5' ebenfalls aus glasfaserverstärktem PBT; das Gehäuse der Zündvorrichtung 28 aus PE (Polyethylen) und der Zündkanal 7 aus einem dünnwandigen Aluminiumblech. - Selbsverständlich kann der Zündkanal auch aus POM (Polyoxy- methylen) gefertigt sein.In the exemplary embodiments described, commercially available plastics were used, so the housings 4, 4 'consist of glass fiber-reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate); the covers 5, 5 'also made of glass fiber reinforced PBT; the housing of the ignition device 28 made of PE (polyethylene) and the ignition channel 7 made of a thin-walled aluminum sheet. - Of course, the ignition channel can also be made of POM (polyoxymethylene).
Der Support besteht aus POM; die Stäbe 16 und 25 aus glas- faserverstärktem PA6 (Caprolactam-Polyamid) .The support consists of POM; rods 16 and 25 made of glass fiber reinforced PA6 (caprolactam polyamide).
Zum Sprengen von Panzerminen und anderen grösseren Kampfmitteln auf Distanzen von mehreren Metern haben sich grö- ssere KMB bewährt, beispielsweise vom Kaliber 66 mm. Diese wurden auf handelsübliche Foto- /Videostative gesetzt und über Korn und Kimme - einer Kunststoffleiste - auf das Ziel ausgerichtet .Larger KMBs, such as those with a caliber of 66 mm, have proven themselves for blasting tank mines and other larger weapons at distances of several meters. These were placed on commercially available photo / video tripods and aligned with the target using a grain and rear sight - a plastic strip.
Grundsätzlich sind sämtliche denkbaren nichtmetallischen, amorphen Materialien für Auskleidungen geeignet, wobei aber die Wirtschaftlichkeit und/oder deren Dichte Grenzen setzen.Basically, all conceivable non-metallic, amorphous materials are suitable for linings, although limit the economy and / or density.
Als optimal haben sich Auskleidungen aus technischem Glas (Industrieglas) erwiesen, da diese in einem einfachen Pressverfahren kostengünstig herstellbar sind und eineLinings made of technical glass (industrial glass) have proven to be optimal, since they are inexpensive to produce in a simple pressing process, and one
Dichte aufweisen, die eine ausreichende Durchschlagsleistung im Ziel ergeben.Have density that results in sufficient penetration in the target.
Da in jedem Minenfeld, aus logistischen Gründen, zahlreiche gleichartige Minen verlegt sind, empiehlt es sich aus wirt- schaftlichen Gründen eine KMB einzusetzen, deren Kaliber und Auskleidung auf die erforderliche minimale Leistung im Ziel abgestimmt ist. Zur Erhöhung der Dichte und damit der Durchschlagsleistung lassen sich dem Glas weitere, an sich bekannte Stoffe zusetzen; neben Strontium erscheinen auch Tellur und geringste Mengen an Thalium die Aufgabenstellung zu erfüllen.Since, for logistical reasons, there are numerous similar mines in each mine field, it is advisable to use a KMB for economic reasons, the caliber and lining of which are matched to the required minimum performance at the target. In order to increase the density and thus the penetration rate, other substances known per se can be added to the glass; In addition to strontium, tellurium and the smallest amounts of thalium also appear to fulfill the task.
Selbstverständlich ist der Erfindungsgegenstand nicht auf den Einsatz bei Minenräumungen etc. beschränkt, es sind auch zivile Anwendungen denkbar, beispielsweise in Zusam- menhang mit Sicherheitsmassnahmen an Druckbehältern, Leitungen etc., d.h. in allen Fällen wo keine gefährlichen metallischen Kontaminationen entstehen dürfen.Of course, the subject matter of the invention is not limited to use in mine clearance etc., civil applications are also conceivable, for example in connection with safety measures on pressure vessels, lines etc., i.e. in all cases where no dangerous metallic contamination may occur.
Ebenfalls ist der Gegenstand zur ferngesteuerten Sprengung von nicht identifizierten Sabotageobjekten, wie "Spreng- stoffpacketen" etc. geeignet und kann leicht an entsprechenden Fahrzeugen angeordnet, von diesen aus gerichtet und gezündet werden. The object is also suitable for remote-controlled blasting of unidentified sabotage objects, such as "explosive packages" etc., and can easily be arranged on appropriate vehicles, directed from them and detonated.
