Die Erfindung betrifft eine Suchzündermunition.The invention relates to a search detonator ammunition.

Aus der DE 34 14 414 A1 ist ein Lenkflugkörper mit einem Gefechtskopf bekannt, welcher eine Hohlladung oder eine projektilbildende Ladung enthält. Vor dem Gefechtskopf sind Bauelemente wie z. B. ein Suchkopf mit zugehöriger Elektronik angeordnet. Diese vor dem Gefechtskopf befindlichen Bauelemente können bei Annäherung an das Ziel in Flugrichtung von dem Lenkflugkörper abgestoßen werden, bevor der Gefechtskopf gezündet wird.From the DE 34 14 414 A1 a missile is known with a warhead, which contains a shaped charge or a projectile-forming charge. Before the warhead components such. B. arranged a seeker head with associated electronics. These located before the warhead components can be repelled when approaching the target in the direction of flight of the missile before the warhead is ignited.

Aus der EP 0 609 565 A1 ist ein Flugkörper mit zweistufigem Antrieb bekannt, bei dem der Flugkörper vor dem Zünden der zweiten Antriebsstufe durch einen Fallschirm abgebremst wird.From the EP 0 609 565 A1 is a missile with two-stage drive is known in which the missile is decelerated by a parachute before the ignition of the second drive stage.

Aus der FR 2 558 585 A ist ein Geschoss mit zwei hintereinander angeordneten Submunitionen mit jeweils einer projektilbildenden Einlage bekannt. Die beiden Submunitionen werden mit Hilfe eines Gasdruckgenerators voneinander separiert, und jeder der beiden Submunitionen wird in der senkrechten Abstiegsphase durch Querschubeinheiten ein Drehmoment um die Längsachse und die Querachse der jeweiligen Submunition vermittelt. Damit wird erreicht, dass die Submunitionen in eine Taumelbewegung versetzt werden, welche eine Abtastung der vertikal unter der Abwurfzone der Submunition befindlichen Umgebung ermöglicht.From the FR 2 558 585 A is a projectile with two consecutively arranged submunitions each with a projectile-forming deposit known. The two submunitions are separated by means of a gas pressure generator, and each of the two submunitions is mediated in the vertical descent phase by transverse thrust units a torque about the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis of the respective submunition. This ensures that the submunitions are set in a tumbling movement, which allows a sampling of the vertically located below the discharge zone of the submunition environment.

Eine Suchzündermunition und ein Verfahren zum Bekämpfen gepanzerter Zielobjekte mittels einer solchen Endphasen-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 an end-phase correctable search fuse ammunition is known from US Pat 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 zu schaffen, die auch bei einer Dimensionierung mit einem relativ kleinen Kaliber mit einer optimal wirksamen projektilbildenden Einlage ausgebildet ist, und bei welcher ein momentfreier Ausstoß der Submunition gewährleistet ist.In view of these circumstances, the invention has for its object to provide a search detonator ammunition, which is also formed in a dimensioning with a relatively small caliber with an optimally effective projectile-forming insert, and in which a torque-free ejection of the submunition is guaranteed.

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.

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 des Sollbruchabschnitts 26 und zum Ausstoß des Geschosses 44 aus dem Ausstoßrohr 42.On the trajectory, close to the target, the output of the projectile 44 takes place, 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 section 26 and to the ejection of the projectile 44 from the ejection tube 42.

Nach Zündung der Trennschraube 46 wird die Bremseinrichtung 22 ausgestoßen. Dabei wird der Deckel 50 mit dem Boden 40 in Achsrichtung entfernt.After ignition of the separating screw 46, 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 48 aktiviert.Subsequently, the Entdralleinrichtung 20 is activated by ignition of the separating screw 48.

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.
