Abstract

Ein Gefechtskopf weist neben der Zündeinrichtung zur detonativen Auslösung eine weitere Zündeinrichtung zur gesteuerten Deflagration der Sprengladung auf, womit die Leistung der Sprengladung zielabhängig auf beliebige Werte unter der Maximalleistung eingestellt werden kann.

Figure 00000001
In addition to the ignition device for detonative triggering, a warhead has a further ignition device for controlled deflagration of the explosive charge, so that the performance of the explosive charge can be set to any value below the maximum power depending on the target.
