Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Suchzündermunition gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a search detonator ammunition according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Suchzündermunition und ein Verfahren zum Bekämpfen gepanzerter Zielobjekte mittels einer solchen Entphasen-korrigierbaren Suchzündermunition ist aus der DE 35 16 673 C2 bekannt. Diese bekannte Suchzündermunition weist einen Fallschirm auf und ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie mit Einrichtungen zum Aufheben bzw. Wiederansetzen der Wirkung des Fallschirmes sowie mit wenigstens einem Impulsgeber zum Einleiten einer quasi ballistischen Bahnkurve aus einer durch den Fallschirm gebremsten Sinkphase ausgestattet ist.A search fuse ammunition and a method for controlling armored target objects by means of such a dephase-correctable search fuse ammunition is known from DE 35 16 673 C2 known. This known search detonator ammunition has a parachute and is characterized in that it is equipped with means for canceling or re-starting the action of the parachute and with at least one pulse generator for introducing a quasi-ballistic trajectory from a braked by the parachute sink phase.

Die DE 41 04 800 C2 beschreibt eine Einrichtung zur Echtzeit-Geländeaufklärung mittels wenigstens eines Sensors, der als Lastkörper von einem Trägerprojektil nach Art einer Submunition verbringbar ist und dessen Informationen über ein Relais an eine abgesetzte Empfangsstation übertragbar sind, wobei jeder Sensor und das Relais als mit Abstiegs-Bremsmitteln ausgestattete Lastkörper eines Artillerie-Trägerprojektiles ausgelegt sind, die nach Verschuss über einem zu verifizierendes Zielgebiet aus dem Trägerprojektil freigebbar sind. Das Relais ist mit einem Bremsmittel für eine wesentlich geringere Sinkgeschwindigkeit ausgestattet als der rotierend und dabei das Zielgebiet spiralförmig einengend abtastende Sensor.The DE 41 04 800 C2 describes a device for real-time field reconnaissance by means of at least one sensor which can be brought as a load body from a carrier projectile like a submunition and its information can be transmitted via a relay to a remote receiving station, each sensor and the relay as equipped with descent braking means load body are designed an artillery carrier projectile that are releasable after Verschuss over a target area to be verified from the carrier projectile. The relay is equipped with a braking device for a much lower rate of descent than the rotating and thereby the target area spirally narrowing scanning sensor.

Die DE 44 26 014 A1 offenbart ein System zum Schutz eines Zieles wie eines Panzerfahrzeuges, eines Bunkers o. dgl. gegen Flugkörper mit einem an einem Basisteil verstellbeweglich gelagerten Abschussbehälter mit mindestens einem Abschussrohr für eine zugehörige Splittergranate, einer Sensoreinrichtung zum Erfassen des zu bekämpfenden Zieles und der Ausrichtung des Abschussbehälters auf das zu bekämpfende Ziel, und einer mit der Sensoreinrichtung über eine Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung und eine Steuerungseinrichtung zusammengeschalteten Antriebseinrichtung zur Ausrichtung des Abschussbehälters relativ zum Basisteil, wobei die mindestens eine Splittergranate mit einer Splitterbelegung und einer Zündeinrichtung zur Steuerung des Zündzeitpunktes versehen ist. Dort kann ein Sprengkörper mit einer Hohlladung vorgesehen sein.The DE 44 26 014 A1 discloses a system for protecting a target such as an armored vehicle, a bunker or the like against missiles having a launching container movably mounted on a base portion with at least one launching tube for an associated fragmentation grenade, sensor means for detecting the target to be counteracted and the alignment of the launching container the object to be combated, and a drive device connected to the sensor device via a signal processing device and a control device for aligning the firing container relative to the base part, wherein the at least one fragmentation grenade is provided with a splitter assignment and an ignition device for controlling the ignition timing. There may be provided an explosive device with a shaped charge.

Eine Aufklärungseinrichtung mit einer Sensoreinheit zum Detektieren und Lokalisieren von Zielen, die zusammen mit einer entfaltbaren, fallverzögernden Einrichtung in einem Artilleriegeschoß transportierbar und aus diesem freigebbar ist, und die mit einem Bremsschirm und einer Entdrallvorrichtung versehen ist, ist aus der DE 196 13 492 C2 bekannt.A reconnaissance device with a sensor unit for detecting and locating targets, which is transportable and releasable together with a deployable, fall-retardant device in an artillery projectile, and which is provided with a braking screen and a Entdrallvorrichtung is from the DE 196 13 492 C2 known.

Eine Suchzündermunition für Artillerie des Kalibers 155 mm ist als SMArt 155 bekannt. Diese bekannte Suchzündermunition weist einen Kopfzünder für eine an diesen rückseitig anschließende Ausstoßeinheit auf, mit deren Hilfe axial hintereinander in einer Gehäusehülle angeordnete Submunitionen rückseitig aus der Gehäusehülle ausgestoßen werden. Die Submunitionen weisen jeweils eine Entdralleinrichtung und einen Rotationsfallschirm als fallverzögernde Einrichtung sowie Sensoren zur Zielerfassung auf.A 155 mm fuselage ammunition for artillery is known as SMArt 155. This known search detonator ammunition has a head detonator for a back of this subsequent ejection unit, with the aid of axially successively arranged in a housing shell submunitions are ejected from the rear of the case. The submunitions each have an unwrapping device and a rotation parachute as a case-delaying device and sensors for target detection.

Die Ausbildung dieser bekannten Suchzündermunition mit in einer Gehäusehülse vorgesehenen Submunitionen, wobei jede Submunition vorderseitig eine projektilbildende Einlage aufweist, ist bei einer SMArt 155 infolge des relativ großen Durchmessers problemlos möglich. Bei einer Suchzündermunition eines kleineren Kalibers müsste jedoch bei Anwendung des gleichen Konstruktionsprinzipes mit einer Gehäusehülse der Durchmesser der projektilbildenden Einlage entsprechend reduziert sein. Eine solche Reduktion des Durchmessers der projektilbildenden Einlage würde jedoch in einer Reduktion der Eindring- bzw. Durchdringtiefe des aus der Einlage gebildeten Projektiles resultieren.The formation of this known search detonator ammunition with submunitions provided in a housing sleeve, each submunition having on the front side a projectile-forming insert, is easily possible with an SMArt 155 due to the relatively large diameter. In a search detonator ammunition of a smaller caliber, however, the diameter of the projectile-forming insert would have to be correspondingly reduced when using the same design principle with a housing sleeve. Such a reduction of the diameter of the projectile-forming insert, however, would result in a reduction of the penetration or penetration depth of the projectile formed from the insert.

In Kenntnis dieser Gegebenheiten liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Suchzündermunition der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die auch bei einer Dimensionierung mit einem relativ kleinen Kaliber mit einer optimal wirksamen projektilbildenden Einlage ausgebildet ist.In view of these circumstances, the invention has for its object to provide a search detonator ammunition of the type mentioned, which is also formed in a dimensioning with a relatively small caliber with an optimally effective projectile-forming insert.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Aus- bzw. Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Suchzündermunition sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments or further developments of the search detonator ammunition according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Dadurch, dass die erfindungsgemäße Suchzündermunition vollkalibrig ohne Gehäusehülse ausgebildet ist, ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die vorderseitige projektilbildende Einlage mit einem relativ großen Durchmesser dimensioniert sein kann, so dass nach Zünden der zur projetilbildenden Einlage zugehörigen Sprengladung eine optimale Projektilbildung möglich ist, weil die Dimensionierung der Einlage nicht durch eine Gehäusehülse eingeschränkt, d.h. begrenzt wird.Due to the fact that the invention search fuzes ammunition is formed vollkalibrig without housing sleeve, there is the advantage that the front projectile-forming insert can be dimensioned with a relatively large diameter, so that after ignition of the projetilbildenden deposit associated explosive charge optimal projectile formation is possible because of the dimensions the insert is not limited by a housing sleeve, ie is limited.

Die erfindungsgemäße Suchzündermunition weist nur eine einzige projektilbildende Einlage auf. Der Ausstoß der Submunition erfolgt erfindungsgemäß nicht mittels eines Kopfzünders - wie z.B. bei SMArt 155 - sondern mittels eines Bodenzünders, der im Heckteil der Suchzündermunition angeordnet und einem um die Suchzündermunition umlaufenden Sollbruchabschnitt zugeordnet ist, der zwischen der Suchzündermunition und dem Heckteil ausgebildet ist.The search engine ammunition according to the invention has only a single projectile-forming deposit. According to the invention, the emission of the submunition is not effected by means of a detonator - such as e.g. in SMArt 155 - but by means of a bottom igniter, which is arranged in the rear part of the search detonator ammunition and associated with a peripheral around the search detonator ammunition predetermined breaking section which is formed between the search detonator ammunition and the rear part.

Nachdem bei der erfindungsgemäßen Suchzündermunition kein Kopfzünder sondern ein Bodenzünder zur Anwendung gelangt, ist es in vorteilhafter Weise außerdem möglich, die Suchzündermunition vorderseitig mit einer für Radarstrahlen der Sensoreinrichtung durchlässigen ballistischen Haube auszubilden. Diese ballistische Haube besteht vorzugsweise aus einem geeigneten Kunststoffmaterial und kann nach Zünden der zur projektilbildenden Einlage zugehörigen Sprengladung von der projektilbildenden Einlage bzw. dem aus der Einlage gebildeten Projektil problemlos durchdrungen werden.Since no head detonator but a bottom detonator is used in the search detonator ammunition according to the invention, it is also possible in an advantageous manner to form the search detonator ammunition on the front side with a ballistic hood permeable to radar beams of the sensor device. This ballistic hood is preferably made of a suitable plastic material and can easily be penetrated by the projectile-forming insert or the projectile formed from the insert after ignition of the projectile-forming insert associated explosive charge.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Heckteil vorzugsweise mit einem aufstellbaren Leitwerk ausgebildet, das im inaktiven Zustand der erfindungsgemäßen Suchzündermunition unterkalibrig angeordnet ist. Durch eine solche Ausbildung ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, die Suchzündermunition aus Waffenrohren ohne Drall, wie den Waffenrohren von Kampfpanzern zu verschießen.According to the invention, the rear part is preferably formed with a deployable tail, which is arranged unterkalibrig in the inactive state of the invention search fuzed ammunition. Such a design, it is possible in an advantageous manner to shoot the search detonator ammunition from gun barrels without swirl, such as the gun barrels of main battle tanks.

Die erfindungsgemäße Suchzündermunition kann z.B. das Kaliber 120 mm besitzen. Selbstverständlich kann sie auch ein anderes Kaliber besitzen.The search detonator ammunition according to the invention may have, for example, the caliber 120 mm. Of course, she can also have a different caliber.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles.Further details, features and advantages will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment shown in the drawing.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Ausbildung der Suchzündermunition 10, die vorderseitig an einem Geschoss 44 eine projektilbildende Einlage 12 aufweist. An die Einlage 12 grenzt rückseitig eine Sprengladung 14 für die projektilbildende Einlage 12 an. Der Sprengladung 14 ist eine Zündeinrichtung 16 zugeordnet. Mit der Zündeinrichtung 16 ist eine Sensoreinrichtung 18 wirkverbunden, mit der ein zu bekämpfendes Ziel sensiert wird.FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the search detonator ammunition 10, which has a projectile-forming insert 12 on a projectile 44 on the front side. An explosive charge 14 for the projectile-forming insert 12 adjoins the insert 12 at the rear. The explosive charge 14 is associated with an ignition device 16. With the ignition device 16, a sensor device 18 is operatively connected, with which a target to be combated is sensed.

Die Suchzündermunition 10 weist außerdem eine Entdralleinrichtung 20 und eine Bremseinrichtung 22 zum Abbremsen der Fallgeschwindigkeit der Suchzündermunition 10 auf. Alle diese Komponenten sind bspw. von der SMArt 155 bekannt, so dass es sich erübrigt, diese detailliert zu beschreiben; sie sind nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist insbesondere, dass die Suchzündermunition 10 vollkalibrig ohne eigene Gehäusehülse ausgebildet ist, um die projektilbildende Einlage mit einem entsprechend großen Durchmesser dimensionieren zu können.The search detonator ammunition 10 also has a de-twisting device 20 and a braking device 22 for braking the falling speed of the search detonator ammunition 10. All of these components are known, for example, from the SMArt 155, so that it is unnecessary to describe them in detail; they are not the subject of the present invention. The subject of the present invention is in particular that the search detonator ammunition 10 is formed fully caliber without own housing sleeve in order to be able to dimension the projectile-forming insert with a correspondingly large diameter.

Das Heckteil 24 weist ein Ausstoßrohr 42 auf. Dieses ist mit der Suchzündermunition 10 entlang eines umlaufenden Sollbruchabschnittes 26 mit einem Gehäuse 44 verbunden. Der Sollbruchabschnitt 26 ist mittels eines im Heckteil 24 vorgesehenen Bodenzünders 28 mit Ausstoßladung 36 auftrennbar, um die Suchzündermunition 10 vom Heckteil 24 abzutrennen.The rear part 24 has an ejection tube 42. This is connected to the search detonator ammunition 10 along a circumferential predetermined breaking section 26 with a housing 44. The predetermined breaking section 26 can be separated by means of a bottom igniter 28 provided with discharge charge 36 in the tail section 24, in order to separate the search detonator ammunition 10 from the rear part 24.

Die Sollbruchstelle 26 ist gasdicht ausgebildet und abschussfest. Sie ist entweder als Gewindeverbindung oder als Schweißverbindung gestaltet. Sie kann auch aus einem Fügeelement aus Kunststoff bestehen.The predetermined breaking point 26 is gas-tight and firing resistant. It is designed either as a threaded connection or as a welded joint. It can also consist of a joining element made of plastic.

Der Bodenzünder 28 ist mit einem Anschlusskabel 30 verbunden, um den Bodenzünder 28 passend programmieren zu können. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Bodenzünder 28 induktiv zu programmieren.The bottom igniter 28 is connected to a connection cable 30 in order to be able to program the bottom igniter 28 appropriately. Another possibility is to program the base igniter 28 inductively.

Der Bodenzünder 28 zündet sowohl die Ausstoßladung 36 und startet über eine nicht dargestelltes Kabel die Zeitfunktion der Sensor- und Zündeinrichtung 16, 18.The base igniter 28 ignites both the ejection charge 36 and starts the time function of the sensor and ignition device 16, 18 via a cable, not shown.

Der Boden 40 ist mit einem Deckel 50 der Bremseinrichtung 22 fest verbunden.The bottom 40 is fixedly connected to a cover 50 of the braking device 22.

Pyrotechnisch zündbare Trennschrauben 44, 46 aktivieren die Bremseinrichtung 22 und - zeitlich später - die Entdralleinrichtung 20.Pyrotechnically ignitable separating screws 44, 46 activate the braking device 22 and, later in time, the untwisting device 20.

Das Heckteil 24 weist ein aufstellbares Leitwerk 32 auf, das in der Figur 1 im aufgestellten Aktivzustand gezeichnet ist. Im inaktiven Zustand liegen die Flügel des Leitwerks 32 unterkalibrig am Heckteil 24 an.The rear part 24 has a deployable tail 32, which is drawn in the figure 1 in the established active state. In the inactive state, the wings of the tail 32 are unterkalibrig at the rear part 24.

Vorderseitig weist die Suchzündermunition 10 eine ballistische Haube 34 aus einem geeigneten Kunststoffmaterial auf, das für Radarstrahlen der Sensoreinrichtung 18 durchlässig ist.On the front side, the search detonator ammunition 10 has a ballistic hood 34 made of a suitable plastic material, which is permeable to radar beams of the sensor device 18.

Funktion:Function:

Nach Abschluss der Suchzündermunition 1 aus einem Waffenrohr wird das Leitwerk 32 durch Fliehkräfte oder durch Federkraft aufgestellt.After completion of the search fuzes ammunition 1 from a gun barrel, the tail 32 is placed by centrifugal forces or by spring force.

Auf der Flugbahn, dicht vor dem Ziel, erfolgt der Ausstoß des Geschosses 44, siehe Figur 2. Hierzu zündet der Bodenzünder 28 die Ausstoßladung 36. Deren Gasdruck führt zur Auftrennung der Sollbruchstelle 26 und zum Ausstoß des Geschosses 44 aus dem Ausstoßrohr 42.On the trajectory, close to the target, the projectile 44 is discharged, see FIG. 2. For this purpose, the bottom igniter 28 ignites the ejection charge 36. Its gas pressure leads to the separation of the predetermined breaking point 26 and the ejection of the projectile 44 from the ejection tube 42.

Nach Zündung der Trennschraube 44 wird die Bremseinrichtung 22 ausgestoßen. Dabei wird der Deckel 50 mit dem Boden 40 in Achsrichtung entfernt.After ignition of the separating screw 44, the braking device 22 is ejected. In this case, the lid 50 is removed with the bottom 40 in the axial direction.

Anschließend wird die Entdralleinrichtung 20 durch Zündung der Trennschraube 46 aktiviert.Subsequently, the Entdralleinrichtung 20 is activated by ignition of the separating screw 46.

Nach Sensierung des Zieles erfolgt im optimierten Abstand die Zündung der Sprengladung 14 mit Umformung der Einlage 12 zu einem zielbekämpfenden Projektil.After sensing the target, the ignition of the explosive charge 14 takes place at the optimized distance with deformation of the insert 12 to a target-projectile projectile.

Die Führungslänge 52 des Geschosses 44 in dem Abschussrohr 42 entspricht dem 1,1 fachen des Geschosskalibers 54. Dadurch ist ein momentenfreier Ausstoß des Geschosses 44 bzw. Trennung des Geschosses 44 von dem Heckteil 24 sichergestellt.The guide length 52 of the projectile 44 in the launch tube 42 corresponds to 1.1 times the Geschoßkalibers 54. This torque-free ejection of the projectile 44 and separation of the projectile 44 is ensured by the rear part 24.

Zur stabilen Fluglage des Geschosses 44 nach der Trennung trägt der Boden 40 bei.For stable attitude of the projectile 44 after the separation of the soil 40 contributes.
