Abstract

Es wird ein Splittergefechtskopf (10), insbesondere für einen Flugkörper, beschrieben, der eine Splitterbelegung (12) aufweist, die sich in Umfangsrichtung und in axialer Richtung des Splittergefechtskopfes (10) erstreckt, wobei die Splitterbelegung (12) auch in axialer Richtung des Splittergefechtskopfes (10) eine Krümmung (1/R) aufweist, um einen Splittergefechtskopf (10) zu realisieren, bei dem der Öffnungswinkel (A) der Splitterkeule (34) zur Erreichung einer optimalen Splitterwirkung zwischen 15 und 120 Winkelgrad beträgt. Die Splitterbelegung (12) kann in Umfangsrichtung einen konstanten Krümmungsradius (r) oder für einzelne Winkelbereiche (ϕ) unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien aufweisen.

Figure imgaf001
A fragmentation warhead (10), in particular for a missile, is described, which has a fragmentation covering (12) which extends in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction of the fragmentation warhead (10), the fragmentation (12) also being in the axial direction of the fragmentation warhead (10) has a curvature (1 / R) to realize a fragmentation warhead (10) in which the opening angle (A) of the splinter lobe (34) is from 15 to 120 angular degrees for optimum splintering action. The splinter assignment (12) can have a constant radius of curvature (r) in the circumferential direction or different radii of curvature for individual angular ranges (φ).
