Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein reaktives Schutzelement an militärischen Fahrzeugen zur Abwehr von auf das Fahrzeug auftreffenden Panzerbekämpfungsgeschossen wie Penetratorstäbe oder Hohlladungsgeschossen mit einer Deckelplatte, einer Rückwand und einer dazwischen angeordneten Sprengstoffschicht.The invention relates to a reactive protective element on military vehicles to ward off anti-tank projectiles hitting the vehicle such as penetrator bars or shaped charge bullets with a cover plate, one Rear wall and an explosive layer arranged between them.

Ein derartiges reaktives Schutzelement ist aus der DE 2 008 156 C1 bekannt.Such a reactive protective element is known from DE 2 008 156 C1.

Militärische Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Kampfpanzer und Schützenpanzer werden vor der Bekämpfung insbesondere durch sogenannte Hohlladungsgeschosse dadurch geschützt, dass an der Außenseite der Fahrzeuge sogenannte reaktive Elemente angebracht sind. Diese Elemente, in der Regel rechteckige Gehäuse, beinhalten Sprengstoff, der durch den Strahl der Hohlladung zur Detonation gebracht wird und der bewirkt, dass gegen die Wirkungsrichtung der Hohlladung, entsprechend der Angriffsrichtung des Gegners, Teile des vor der Sprengladung liegenden Gehäuses geschleudert werden. Diese Teile beeinträchtigen die Wirkung der Hohlladung und verbessern dadurch die Schutzwirkung des Fahrzeuges erheblich. Die Gehäuse derartiger Schutzelemente bestehen in der Regel aus Stahl, es gibt aber auch Ausführungen in Stahl und Kunststoff und solche, die nur aus Kunststoff, z.B. Glasfaserplatten, bestehen. Die Patentschriften EP 0 689 028, US 5,637,824, US 5,824,941, US 4,869,152 und GB 2,191,277 beschreiben unterschiedliche Ausführungen von reaktiven Schutzelementen.Military vehicles, especially main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers before fighting, in particular by so-called shaped charge projectiles protected that so-called reactive on the outside of the vehicles Elements are attached. These elements, usually rectangular cases, include explosives that are detonated by the beam of hollow charge and that causes against the direction of action of the shaped charge, according to the direction of attack of the opponent, parts of the pre-explosive charge horizontally thrown housing. These parts affect the effect the shaped charge and thereby improve the protective effect of the vehicle considerably. The housing of such protective elements usually consist of Steel, but there are also versions in steel and plastic and those that only made of plastic, e.g. Glass fiber plates exist. The patent EP 0 689 028, US 5,637,824, US 5,824,941, US 4,869,152 and GB 2,191,277 different versions of reactive protective elements.

Sie haben alle den Zweck, die Wirkung von Panzerbekämpfungsgeschossen zu reduzieren oder gar zunichte zu machen. Wird ein mit derartigen Schutzelementen versehenes Fahrzeug, z. B. ein Kampfpanzer z. B. mit Hohlladungsmunition beschossen, z. B. mit einer sogenannten Panzerfaust, und verhindert ein reaktives Schutzelement die Wirkung der Hohlladung, so kann dies der Gegner beobachten und gegebenenfalls mit einem zweiten Schuss das Fahrzeug vernichten. Dies wird insbesondere dann von Erfolg sein, wenn er dieselbe Stelle trifft, an der sich vorher das getroffene reaktive Schutzelement befand. They all have the purpose of increasing the effectiveness of anti-tank projectiles reduce or even destroy. Will one with such protective elements provided vehicle, e.g. B. a battle tank z. B. with shaped charge ammunition shot at, e.g. B. with a so-called bazooka, and prevents a reactive Protective element the effect of the shaped charge, so the enemy can observe this and possibly destroy the vehicle with a second shot. This will be particularly successful if it hits the same place where the reactive protective element hit was previously.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein reaktives Schutzelement nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 so zu verbessern, dass die Fahrzeuge besser vor einer Zerstörung geschützt sind.The invention is based, a reactive protective element according to the task Improve the preamble of claim 1 so that the vehicles do better are protected from destruction.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass das Schutzelement zusätzlich eine Rauch- oder Nebelwolke bildende Komponente enthält, die durch die Detonation der Sprengstoffschicht aktiviert wird, entwickelt das reaktive Schutzelement bei Detonation seines Sprengstoffes eine Rauch- bzw. Nebelwolke, die dem Gegner die Sicht auf das bekämpfte Fahrzeug nimmt oder einen Brand des Fahrzeuges vortäuscht. Ein Nachschuss ist daher erschwert bzw. unmöglich oder wird als nicht notwendig angesehen.Because the protective element additionally forms a smoke or mist cloud component contains, which is activated by the detonation of the explosive layer, the reactive protective element develops one when its explosive detonates Cloud of smoke or fog that gives the opponent a view of the vehicle being fought takes or pretends a fire of the vehicle. A margin is therefore difficult or impossible or is considered unnecessary.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Rauch- oder Nebelwolke bildende Komponente eine Metallbeimischung zur Sprengstoffschicht. Diese Metallbeimischung ist bevorzugt z. B. Aluminium.In a preferred embodiment, the cloud of smoke or fog is forming Component a metal admixture to the explosive layer. This metal admixture is preferably z. B. aluminum.

Alternativ ist die Rauch- oder Nebelwolke bildende Komponente zwischen der Sprengstoffschicht und der Deckelplatte angeordnet, d. h. sie befindet sich vom Hohlladungsgeschoss aus gesehen vor der Sprengstoffschicht.Alternatively, the smoke or mist cloud forming component is between the Explosive layer and the cover plate arranged, d. H. it is from Hollow charge storey seen in front of the explosives layer.

Vorteilhafterweise besteht die Komponente hierbei aus einem pyrotechnischen Stoff, der eine Rauch- oder Nebelwolke erzeugt. Alternativ ist die Komponente ein flüssiger Nebelstoff, der in mindestens einem Behälter angeordnet ist.The component here advantageously consists of a pyrotechnic Substance that creates a cloud of smoke or fog. Alternatively, the component is a liquid smoke substance, which is arranged in at least one container.

Der flüssige Nebelstoff ist in bevorzugter Ausführungsform Titantetrachlorid oder Chlorsulfonsäure.In a preferred embodiment, the liquid smoke substance is titanium tetrachloride or Chlorosulfonic acid.

In spezieller Ausführungsform besteht die Komponente aus wenigstens zwei Einzelkomponenten, die in wenigstens zwei Behältern angeordnet sind, wobei die Nebelwirkung aus dem Zusammenwirken dieser Einzelkomponenten entsteht. In a special embodiment, the component consists of at least two individual components, which are arranged in at least two containers, the The mist effect results from the interaction of these individual components.

Bevorzugt enthält die Komponente eine Teilkomponente, die den Rauch oder Nebel physiologisch unschädlich macht.The component preferably contains a subcomponent which is the smoke or Makes fog physiologically harmless.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Figuren, die nachfolgend näher erläutert werden.Further features of the invention result from the figures that follow are explained in more detail.

Das reaktive Schutzelement in Fig. 1 besteht aus einer Deckplatte 1, die aus ein oder mehreren Lagen Metallen oder Nichtmetallen bestehen kann und einer Sprengstoffschicht 2. Die Rückwand 3 stellt eine zusätzliche Panzerplatte dar und dient zur Befestigung des Schutzelementes am Fahrzeug. Stirnseitig ist das Schutzelement durch eine umlaufende Wandung 4', 4" umgeben und stellt dadurch ein in sich abgeschlossenes Element dar. Wird das Schutzelement aus der Richtung 5 durch eine Hohlladung bekämpft, so bewirkt der durch die Hohlladung zur Detonation gebrachte Sprengstoff 2, dass die Deckplatte 1 gegen die Hohlladung geschleudert wird und deren Wirkung stört. Gleichzeitig entwickelt der Sprengstoff 2 während seiner Detonation erheblichen Rauch, der dem Gegner eine Zerstörung des Fahrzeuges vortäuscht.The reactive protective element in Fig. 1 consists of a cover plate 1, which consists of a or several layers of metals or non-metals and one Explosive layer 2. The rear wall 3 represents an additional armor plate and is used to attach the protective element to the vehicle. This is on the face Protective element surrounded by a circumferential wall 4 ', 4 "and thereby provides is a self-contained element. If the protective element from the Combat direction 5 by a shaped charge, so it causes by the shaped charge detonated explosive 2 that the cover plate 1 against the shaped charge is thrown and interferes with its effect. At the same time, the Explosive 2 detonated smoke during its detonation, causing fire to the enemy feigns destruction of the vehicle.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine andere Ausführung des reaktiven Schutzelementes. Hier ist zwischen der Deckplatte 1 und der Sprengstoffschicht 2 ein Gehäuse 6 angeordnet, das mit flüssigem Nebelstoff 7 gefüllt ist. Bei der Detonation der Sprengstoffschicht 2 wird das Gehäuse 6 zerstört, und der Nebelstoff 7 wird durch die Schwaden des detonierten Sprengstoffes 2 verteilt, d. h. zerstäubt. Dadurch entwickelt sich augenblicklich eine Nebelwolke, welche aus der Bekämpfungsrichtung 5 heraus die Sicht auf das Fahrzeug nimmt oder dessen Zerstörung vortäuscht. Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the reactive protective element. Here is between a cover 6 is arranged on the cover plate 1 and the explosive layer 2, which is filled with liquid smoke 7. When the explosive layer detonates 2, the housing 6 is destroyed, and the smoke 7 is by the Swaths of detonated explosive 2 distributed, d. H. atomized. Developed as a result there is a cloud of fog coming from the direction of control 5 takes a view of the vehicle or simulates its destruction.
