Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gefechtskopf (1) mit einer eine Sprengladung (5) umschließenden Gefechtskopfhülle (2). Um zu erreichen, daß der Gefechtskopf (1) bei Detonation seiner Sprengladung (5) eine hohe Beschleunigung der in Flugrichtung fliegenden Splitter und eine geringere Beschleunigung der seitlich von dem Gefechtskopf wegfliegenden Splitter bewirkt und/oder eine relativ starke seitliche Druckwelle erzeugt, schlägt die Erfindung vor, entsprechend der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Gefechtskopfes (1) mindestens zwei unterschiedliche Ladungen (7,8-9) vorzusehen. Dabei weist die im Bereich der Spitze des Gefechtskopfes (1) angeordnete, z.B. aus Octogen (HMX) bestehende erste Teilladung (7) eine hohe Detonationsgeschwindigkeit auf, um die vor dieser Teilladung angeordneten Schwermetallsplitter (vorzugsweise WSM-Kugelsplitter) bei Detonation der Sprengladung sehr schnell nach vorne (in Flugrichtung) zu beschleunigen. Hingegen handelt es sich bei der zweiten, heckseitig sich an die erste Teilladung (7) anschließenden Teilladung (8-10) um eine weitaus billigere Ladung (z.B. RDX-Ladung). Diese Teilladung ist lediglich für eine Beschleunigung der seitlich wegfliegenden z.B. aus Stahl bestehenden Splitter erforderlich. Statt einer splitterbeschleunigenden Ladung kann als zweite Ladung auch Sprengstoff verwendet werden, der lediglich eine starke seitliche Druckwelle erzeugt. <IMAGE>The invention relates to a warhead (1) with a warhead shell (2) surrounding an explosive charge (5). In order to ensure that the warhead (1) detonates its explosive charge (5) causes a high acceleration of the fragments flying in the direction of flight and a lower acceleration of the fragments flying away from the warhead and / or generates a relatively strong lateral pressure wave, the invention proposes plan to provide at least two different charges (7,8-9) in accordance with the intended use of the warhead (1). The one located in the area of the tip of the warhead (1), e.g. the first partial charge (7) consisting of octogen (HMX) has a high detonation speed in order to accelerate the heavy metal fragments (preferably WSM ball fragments) arranged in front of this partial charge very quickly to the front (in the direction of flight) when the explosive charge is detonated. On the other hand, the second part load (8-10), which is connected to the rear of the first part load (7), is a much cheaper load (e.g. RDX load). This partial load is only for accelerating the e.g. steel splinters required. Instead of a charge accelerating the fragmentation, explosives can also be used as the second charge, which only generates a strong lateral pressure wave. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gefechtskopf mit einer eine Sprengladung umschließenden Gefechtskopfhülle.The invention relates to a warhead with an explosive charge surrounding Warhead casing.

Es ist seit langem bekannt, bei großkalibrigen Geschossen kunststoffgebundene Sprengladungen zu verwenden. Üblicherweise bestehen die Ladungen der bekannten Gefechtsköpfe aus einem einheitlichen Material, welches derart gewählt wird, daß die bei der Detonation der Ladung erzeugten Splitter in einer bestimmten Richtung (z.B. in Flugrichtung) eine vorgegebene Beschleunigung und Winkelverteilung aufweisen. Splitter, die in eine andere Richtung fliegen (z.B. senkrecht zur Flugrichtung), werden dann zwar ebenfalls entsprechend hoch beschleunigt, obwohl eine derartige hohe Beschleunigung dieser Splitter gar nicht erforderlich ist.It has long been known that plastic-bound bullets are used for large-caliber bullets To use explosive charges. The charges usually exist in the known Warheads made of a uniform material, which is chosen such that the Splinters generated during the detonation of the charge in a certain direction (e.g. in Flight direction) have a predetermined acceleration and angular distribution. Splinters that fly in a different direction (e.g. perpendicular to the direction of flight) become then also accelerated accordingly high, although such a high acceleration this splinter is not necessary at all.

Aus der DE 38 34 491 A1 ist bereits eine projektilbildende Sprengladung mit einer Auskleidung bekannt, die eine Initialladung sowie mehrere unterschiedliche, in Richtung der Längsachse des Gefechtskopfes gesehen, hintereinander angeordnete Teilladungen aufweist, deren Detonationsgeschwindigkeiten von der Initialladung in Richtung der Auskleidung zunehmen. Durch eine derartige Anordnung unterschiedlicher Teilladungen wird erreicht, daß die Stachel- bzw. Projektilgeschwindigkeit eine größere Durchschlagsleistung besitzt als vergleichbare Gefechtsköpfe mit einer Ladung konstanter Detonationsgeschwindigkeit. Mit dem Aufbau von Gefechtsköpfen zur Beschleunigung von Splittern (Splittergeschosse) in unterschiedlichen Richtungen beschäftigt sich diese Patentanmeldung hingegen nicht. DE 38 34 491 A1 already describes a projectile-forming explosive charge with a Lining known to carry an initial charge as well as several different ones seen along the longitudinal axis of the warhead, partial loads arranged one behind the other has, whose detonation speeds from the initial charge in the direction of the lining. By such an arrangement different Partial loads are achieved that the spike or projectile speed is greater Penetration is more constant than comparable warheads with a charge Detonation velocity. With the construction of warheads for acceleration of fragments (fragments) in different directions this patent application, however, does not.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gefechtskopf der eingangs erwähnten Art zu offenbaren, der einerseits bei Detonation seiner Sprengladung eine hohe Beschleunigung der in Flugrichtung fliegenden Splitter bewirkt und der andererseits eine geringere Beschleunigung der seitlich von dem Gefechtskopf wegfliegenden Splitter verursacht und/oder bei dem seitlich eine relativ starke Druckwelle erzeugt wird.The invention has for its object a warhead of the aforementioned Kind of revealing that on the one hand a high acceleration upon detonation of its explosive charge the splitter flying in the direction of flight and the other causes one less acceleration of the fragments flying away to the side of the warhead caused and / or in which a relatively strong pressure wave is generated laterally.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous configurations of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, nicht eine einheitliche Ladung in der Hülle des Gefechtskopfes anzuordnen, sondern mindestens zwei unterschiedliche Ladungen vorzusehen. Dabei weist die im Bereich der Spitze des Gefechtskopfes angeordnete, z.B. aus Octogen (HMX) bestehende erste Teilladung eine hohe Detonationsgeschwindigkeit auf, um die vor dieser Teilladung angeordneten Schwermetallsplitter (vorzugsweise WSM-Kugelsplitter) bei Detonation der Sprengladung sehr schnell nach vorne (in Flugrichtung) zu beschleunigen. Hingegen handelt es sich bei der zweiten, heckseitig sich an die erste Teilladung anschließenden Teilladung um eine weitaus billigere Ladung (z.B. RDX-Ladung). Diese Teilladung ist lediglich für eine Beschleunigung der seitlich wegfliegenden z.B. aus Stahl bestehenden Splitter erforderlich. Statt einer splitterbeschleunigenden Ladung kann als zweite Ladung auch Sprengstoff verwendet werden, der lediglich eine starke seitliche Druckwelle erzeugt.The invention is essentially based on the idea, not a uniform charge to be placed in the shell of the warhead, but at least two different ones To provide charges. It points in the area of the top of the warhead arranged, e.g. first partial load consisting of octogen (HMX) high Detonation speed up to the heavy metal fragments arranged in front of this partial charge (preferably WSM bullet splinters) upon detonation of the explosive charge accelerate quickly forward (in the direction of flight). On the other hand, it is the second, rear load adjoining the first partial load by one much cheaper charge (e.g. RDX charge). This partial load is only for one Acceleration of the flying away e.g. steel splinters required. Instead of a fragment accelerating charge, explosives can also be used as a second charge can be used, which only generates a strong lateral pressure wave.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn die erste Teilladung aus einer Mischung von 70-90 Vol% Octogen (HMX) und 10-30 Vol% eines inerten Kunststoff-Bindemittels (z.B. Hydroxylterminiertes Polybutadien (HTPB)) und die zweite Teilladung aus einer Mischung von 70-90 Vol % Hexogen (RDX) und ebenfalls 10-30 Vol% eines Kunststoff-Bindemittels besteht. Dabei sollten bei beiden Teilladungen die gleichen Bindemittel verwendet werden.It has proven to be advantageous if the first partial load consists of a mixture of 70-90% by volume octogen (HMX) and 10-30% by volume of an inert plastic binder (e.g. hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)) and the second partial charge from one Mixture of 70-90% by volume hexogen (RDX) and also 10-30% by volume of a plastic binder consists. The same binders should be used for both partial loads be used.

Vorzugsweise sollte der zweiten Teilladung ein Metallpulver (z.B. Aluminiumpulver) zugemischt sein, um einen Blasteffekt zu erzeugen. The second part load should preferably be a metal powder (e.g. aluminum powder) be added to create a blast effect.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden anhand einer Figur erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following a figure illustrated embodiment.

In der Fig. ist mit 1 ein aus einem Geschütz abfeuerbarer ballistischer Gefechtskopf bezeichnet, der gegen verbunkerte Stellungen eingesetzt werden soll und dabei seitlich von der jeweiligen Stellung befindliche Fahrzeuge ebenfalls zerstören soll. Der Gefechtskopf 1 umfaßt eine Gefechtskopfhülle 2 aus Stahl, einen vorderseitig an der Gefechtskopfhülle angeordneten Annäherungszünder 3, eine sich an den Zünder anschließende Splitterplatte 4 mit Schwermetallsplittern (z.B. WSM-Kugeln) und eine Sprengladung 5. Die Sprengladung 5 setzt sich aus vier, in Richtung der Längsachse 6 des Gefechtskopfes 1 gesehen, hintereinander angeordneten Teilladungen 7-10 zusammen.In the figure, 1 is a ballistic warhead that can be fired from a gun designated, which is to be used against bunker positions and at the side vehicles from the respective position should also destroy. The warhead 1 comprises a warhead shell 2 made of steel, one on the front of the warhead shell arranged proximity detonator 3, an adjoining the detonator Splinter plate 4 with heavy metal splinters (e.g. WSM balls) and an explosive charge 5. The explosive charge 5 is composed of four, in the direction of the longitudinal axis 6 of the warhead 1 seen, consecutive partial loads 7-10 together.

Die der Splitterplatte 4 benachbarte erste Teilladung 7 besteht aus einer Mischung von z.B. 90 % HMX und 10 % eines HTPB Bindersystems und weist eine relativ hohe Guerney-Konstante von 2830 m/s auf. Diese dient dazu, die WSM-Kugeln besonders hoch in Flugrichtung zu beschleunigen.The first partial charge 7 adjacent to the splinter plate 4 consists of a mixture of e.g. 90% HMX and 10% of an HTPB binder system and has a relatively high Guerney constant of 2830 m / s. This serves to make the WSM balls special accelerate high in the direction of flight.

Die Teilladungen 8-10 dienen zur Erzeugung und Beschleunigung der bei Zerstörung der Gefechtskopfhülle 2 entstehenden Splitter, die seitlich von dem Gefechtskopf wegfliegen. Hierzu reichen wesentlich kostengünstigere RDX-Ladungen aus. Bei den Splittern kann es sich um natürliche oder in der Hülle vorgeformte Konstuktionssplitter handeln.The partial loads 8-10 are used to generate and accelerate the destruction the warhead shell 2 resulting splinters that fly away from the warhead laterally. Much cheaper RDX charges are sufficient for this. Both Splinters can be natural or preformed in the shell act.

Um eine möglichst gute Anpassung an die gewünschte seitliche Splitterverteilung des Gefechtskopfes 1 zu erhalten, können die RDX-Teilladungen 8-10 von Bereich zu Bereich eine unterschiedliche Zusammensetzung aufweisen (z.B. Ladung 8: 85 % RDX und 15 % HTPB Bindersystem; Ladung 9: 90 % RDX und 10 % HTPB Bindersystem und Ladung 10: 70 % RDX, 10 % HTPB Bindersystem und 20 % Aluminiumpulver).In order to adapt to the desired lateral splinter distribution of the To obtain warhead 1, the RDX partial loads 8-10 can range from range to range have a different composition (e.g. charge 8: 85% RDX and 15% HTPB binder system; Charge 9: 90% RDX and 10% HTPB binder system and load 10: 70% RDX, 10% HTPB binder system and 20% aluminum powder).

Zur Laborierung des Gefechtskopfes 1 wird die Gefechtskopfhülle 2 zu einem bestimmten Anteil mit der ersten Teilladung 7 gefüllt. Während der Topfzeit dieser Mischung wird die zweite Mischung auf die erste Teilladung gegossen usw. Das schichtförmige Aufgießen von verschiedenen Formulierungen auf der Basis desselben Polymersystems führt dann zu einer "maßgeschneiderten" Wirkung (Detonationsgeschwindigkeit) der Ladung. The warhead shell 2 is made into a specific one for laboratory use of the warhead 1 Part filled with the first partial load 7. During the pot life of this mixture the second mixture is poured onto the first part load, etc. The layered Pour on different formulations based on the same polymer system then leads to a "tailor-made" effect (detonation speed) the cargo.
